Did you know today is Dysgraphia Awareness Day? And you might be thinking, "I don't even know what that is". Dysgraphia is a specific learning disability that makes it difficult to express yourself in writing, and is actually pretty common! Here are two resources to learn more and get help: https://livingtruer.com & https://www.dysgraphia.life.
This week, Mrs. Hunter's Pre-K class spent their time learning all about apples! ☺
Don't forget! THIS Thursday is Picture Day 📷
Mark your calendars! 🍂 GDE's Fall Festival will be November 3rd from 5-7pm and our PTO needs YOUR help!
Just a friendly reminder ❗ Our students are NOT allowed to walk, ride their bike, or scooter to school without a parent PHYSICALLY being with them for both drop-off & pick-up. This is to keep all students safe. If you are a part of "Walker's Club", it is REQUIRED to park at the GMS volleyball parking lot. The exceptions are families who live within a mile of the school and staff members who work in other buildings. Please make sure you are following this traffic map! Pick-up and drop-off have gotten SO much better, but will only continue to work if we all follow instructions. Thank you for understanding ☺

Yesterday, Mrs. Pruitt's class focused on their reading skills! Mrs. Pruitt showed the class two types of reading. Slow and controlled versus fast and frantic. With a thumbs up or down, students would show Mrs. Pruitt which type of reading was the correct one. By including different forms of learning (visual, auditory, & physical) our students are engaged on all levels! Plus, learning about penguins is always a blast 🐧
Today, we honor the bravery, sacrifice, and unity of those who responded to the call of duty and the innocent souls lost. We will never forget.
