Students worked on using pictures as context clues to help understand unknown words. By looking closely at the illustrations and thinking about what was happening in the text, students practiced strategies that will help them make meaning as they read.
These early literacy skills help students grow in confidence as they learn new vocabulary and become stronger readers.

Students in Mrs. Cooper’s class wrote about “the scoop” on who they are, connecting perfectly with Mrs. Cooper’s ice cream theme. By learning more about students’ interests, personalities, and experiences, Mrs. Cooper is helping create meaningful learning experiences that support each child.
Students also shared written reflections about their first day in first grade, giving them a chance to celebrate a great beginning to the school year.
SES is ready for a wonderful year of learning, growing, and connecting together!

Available at all Gordon County elementary schools, the After School Program (ASP) provides students in Pre-K through 5th grade with a safe and caring environment from school dismissal until 6:00 p.m. each school day. Students can enjoy study time, recreational activities, arts and crafts, enrichment opportunities, and a daily snack.

ASP staff will be located at each elementary school during our Open House dates. To learn more about the program, visit our website at https://www.gcbe.org/page/after-school-program-asp.
