Roald Dahl Day at Gainesville Intermediate
Ms. Bond provided students with some fun activities to help honor this writer. Students were introduced to Roald Dahl's contributions to literacy through a brief video. Then, students were released to create a candy bar, guess how many chocolate kisses were in a container, pick a Roald Dahl book from the display to read, or work on puzzles featuring Matilda and chocolate. It was a sweet time in the GIS Library.
Pre-K SIPPS!
This year we started something new with our Pre-K students. We identified our first group of students to start our SIPPS (Systematic Instruction in Phonological Awareness, Phonics, and Sight Words) program earlier in the year than usual. While normally pre-K starts in the second semester, these students were ready to start at the same time as our kinders. We are calling this Pre-K-Acceleration to help them enter Kinder next year well prepared. We will be adding more students into this group in a couple weeks. If there’s one thing for certain, it’s that our pre-K teachers and students are top notch!
