Gordon Central High School's Teaching as a Profession teacher, Mrs. Kodi Albright, visited Belwood Elementary's PAL program with her students in Mrs. Jessica Childers' classroom today.
Mrs. Albright's students prepared lessons to work with the 3-4 year old students on counting, number identification, and many other activities. These students have worked on created number cards, thematic counting books, sensory bags to practice number-writing, and lesson plans connecting these activities with standards and best teaching practices.
Students will return later in the week to work on reading activities with their little partners!
Thank you to the Calhoun-Gordon County Retired Educators Association for their donation to allow these day trips for Gordon Central students, and Mrs. Albright is very appreciative of Mrs. Childers and Belwood Elementary for allowing her students to have such a great learning opportunity.
