Shot out to Ms.Quiñones and Ms.Aguinaga!
Thank you for making learning fun and creating a welcoming classroom for the students. My son loves being in your classroom and has felt more confident thanks to your encouragement and patience.

WE HAZ JAZZ was amazing and our 5th graders did an incredible job. Shout out to Mrs. Thomas for all of her work with her students. Shout out to the 5th grade team for supporting their efforts outside of class to make the performance incredible. What an amazing group of students!

Grades 2-5 started our STEM Kit builds this week! Students utilize a Tic-Tac-Toe Choice Board and work with a partner to complete a build from one of the kits. The kits are Machine Makers, Bridge Builders, and Motioneering. Please ask your student what they built in REEL this week!

We want our staff to hear from you! If you have a teacher, employee, support staff, someone on campus that you would like to brag about, please send your email to Mrs. Whisenhunt at erin.whisenhunt@gpisd.org with the subject line "Shout Outs".

They will be shared with staff, and with permission shared in our staff and parent newsletters! These affirmations and Shout Outs mean everything to them, so send away!
