Practice measuring the length of different items around your house using a non-standard unit of measure. Experiment measuring the same object with many units. Be sure that the unit you choose is uniform in size. (crayons, legos, blocks, beans, etc)
Gifted and Talented Information
Heritage Day
Mark your calendars for Friday, November 17th for our Heritage Day Celebration. This is a tradition at GES that simultaneously honors our grandparents and/or veterans. We would love a grandparent and/or veteran of each child to join us at 2pm that day for some songs and activities. More information to come. **If your child does not have a grandparent or veteran that can attend, parents are welcome!
SAve the date
December 8th is our annual Candy Houses with a Loved One. You, or someone who loves your child, is invited to come and decorate candy houses in the cafeteria. The fun starts at 8am and lasts about an hour. Please make arrangements for yourself or another adult to participate that morning.
Label Your Items
Please take the time to label ALL of your child's personal items. This will hopefully ensure that all of your things return home to you each day. Please write first and last names, or first initial and last name, on backpacks, lunch boxes, jackets, sweaters, and hats (when weather gets cooler).
