W.L. Swain Elementary's Carrie Arnold had a fun learning activity today for her class! Students were able to learn about weather and had a cool art experiment as well to make it rain. Great job! #ExtraordinaryGCS #ExtraordinaryWLS
Sonoraville Elementary kindergarten teacher Cher Worley reviewed next steps and directions for her class today as they transitioned from their previous learning task. These students know their classroom rules and expectations! Mrs. Worley has a fantastic learning environment for students to succeed.
Also, Pre-K students took a trip to the Harris Arts Center for their Preschool POPS program today! Preschool POPS is a program designed to introduce the arts to all preschool age children in Gordon County. POPS is often a child’s first exposure to puppeteers, singers, musicians, actors and storytellers. We appreciate the Harris Arts Center for providing this opportunity for our students. #ExtraordinaryGCS #ExtraordinarySES
