Instead of making fun of someone for not knowing how to spell a word, Jase helped him spell it! Nice job Jase.
That is how the world is changed - one letter at a time ❤️💯

Today, fifth grade teacher Mrs. Montelongo, along with co-teacher Ms. Hannah Stewart, took advantage of the glorious weather and turned it into an engaging teaching opportunity!
Ms. Monty's class is studying plant classification and learning about vascular and non-vascular plants.
She wanted students to see the different species in the real world to form better connections to the content for a more authentic learning experience!
They got to take pictures of the different plants they saw on their iPads and write about whether or not they were vascular and non-vascular. Students then had to justify their reasoning based on what they have learned so far. They were allowed to use their science journals and notes to help with the assignment!
This is just one example of all the wonderful learning that takes place at Belwood each and every day:)

and we couldn’t wait to start saying THANK YOU to our incredible SROs 👏
At Belwood Elementary School, we are blessed to have Officers from Gordon County Sheriff's Department as our dedicated resource officers.
We want to take this opportunity to thank them for their unwavering commitment to our school and let them know that Belwood Elementary appreciates our beloved SRO's EVERY day!!
Each day of the week these dedicated officers work to keep our schools safe, build positive relationships with students and staff, and support a welcoming learning environment.
Their hard work and commitment makes a real difference in our school and in our community!

Dear Belwood families:
You have homework over Winter Break.
Yes, you read that correctly 😂😂!!!
Next week is National Random Acts of Kindness Day (Monday, February 17th).
Belwood is going to create a Kindness Tree in order to promote school wide kindness.
Please be on the lookout for a paper ladybug to come home with your student tomorrow. When he/she demonstrates a random act of kindness, please record it on the ladybug and return it to school to be added to our kindness tree. If you are able, please take a picture also and email to
belwoodphotos@gmail.com
This does not have to stop after the break.
Please continue to demonstrate, encourage and record acts of kindness within your family and community.
And remember, one of the most important characteristics of a kind person is that when they do something for someone, they don't expect anything in return.
Please don't underestimate the power kindness has, as one good deed can ripple out and touch the lives of many.

Please join Belwood as we recognize our January Character students' of the month. The word was resilience - getting back up when something gets you down.
We also want to thank our local Calhoun Chick-fil-a for sponsoring the Character curriculum and breakfast for Belwood and Gordon County Schools.
Many of our Belwood students (and families and staff) demonstrate resilience every day, but these precious students stood out among their peers!
