Grandparents Breakfast invites are coming through Class Dojo today! We will send home paper copies on Tuesday. We are looking forward to seeing you all next Friday!
Wow!!! Mrs Lopez had her students using pictures, number bonds and number sentences to represent a problem. Way to go first grade! #RaiseTheRidge
"Check out our 2nd graders in action! They explored the properties of matter to design and build hats that protect from the sun. Learning and creativity combined to beat the heat!"
Second grade greatness - In GT today we wrote a class contract and learned about our THINKING HATS. Each hat helps us to look at a challenge from a different point of view. Today, we are using our hats to invent a machine that will either help people to have the super power of MIND READING or a machine that will GUARD AGAINST the power of MIND READING! We will need a lot of hat power for this challenge! Luckily, there are many thinking hats!
Ms. Edge has her 1st graders close their eyes and visualize the word problem as she reads it! Helps students to slow down and think about the actions taking place in the problem BEFORE they start to solve! #RaiseTheRidge
Make sure to join us for Grandparents Day Breakfast!
GT classes started today, and our amazing fifth graders say they enjoyed learning about their SCARF assessment results, writing their class contract, and justifying the circle as geometry's most perfect shape through their radial symmetry challenge.
4th graders need brain breaks too! Mr. Mora has quick fun brain breaks that get them up and going then quickly back to rounding on a vertical number line! Love it! #RaiseTheRidge
Mrs Bonin uses motion to help students understand numbers! Counting from 1-5 while slowly getting bigger! #RaiseTheRidge
This 4th grade math team is something special! They collaborate, laugh, and most importantly put kids first! Thank you for letting me join your planning session!!! #RaiseTheRidge
The 23-24 BRISD yearbooks will be delivered this Friday, August 23rd! See the graphic for more information.
Our students had so much fun drawing and coloring maps to learn about all the different sections of the library.
Number bonds!!! First grade teachers and students are rocking them in ALL the ways!!! #RaiseTheRidge
No time to waste in kinder! Mrs Russell had her kids sorting items in groups of 2, 3, and 4! Great way for kids to see the values of the numbers!! #RaiseTheRidge
Mrs. Best using what they already know to connect with their NEW learning! When kids find the number patterns they "stick" better! #RaiseTheRidge
The National School Lunch Program requires households to fill out a new application for free/reduced lunch every school year, including households who were approved last school year. These applications must be completed within the first 30 days of the new school year or the benefits will expire. Benefits from the previous year will expire on Wednesday, September 25, 2024. Students whose households have not renewed their application by September 25th will be required to pay for meals. We encourage you to check with the cafeteria on the status of your household and benefits as soon as possible. You may fill out an application online or submit a paper copy. The applications are available on the Blue Ridge ISD website or at www.bit.ly/LunchAppBRISD. If you have any questions, please contact Terri Rodriquez, Director of Child Nutrition.
Thank you @jnhills from @region10ESC for planning with all of our math teachers today! Each grade level was able to collaborate and tailor lessons to fit the needs of their class! It is amazing to see such dedicated educators!!! #RaiseTheRidge

Ms. Kirk's 5th grade class can already multiply and divide decimals by 10! Using the place value chart makes it easy to understand! #RaiseTheRidge
