Happy Fall Y'all!
Howdy!
It has been so great to meet with the kiddos, face to face and virtually. I have enjoyed getting to know them. I have no doubt we are going to learn and grow together!
Groups have been created in Seesaw, and activities will be added each week. I encourage students to complete the Seesaw activities, but they are not required. I hope they choose one or two to complete to get their brain thinking!
Those whose kiddos are new to the program, each year GT students complete a project. We have not begun to talk about the project yet, but once we do and they have work to do for the project, I will let you know.
These newsletters will be posted on my website, in case you need to refer back to them. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.Thank you for your support.
We're a team!
Many thanks,
Mrs.Barrera
