Don Gill

Learning in Miss Williams’ class!  Kindergarteners are practicing numbers on whiteboards and drawing pictures that begin with letter sounds!

Third graders in Miss Lancaster’s class used Play-Doh and LEGO blocks to model and skip count objects in equal groups to find how many there are. Students built groups such as 3 groups of 6 and connected their models to the equation 3 × 6 = 18. This hands-on activity helped students see what multiplication actually looks like and builds understanding of multiplication beyond simply memorizing facts!

Second Grade is studying the life cycle of insects. We came back to a surprise from the weekend and we were able to release several Monarchs.

Students at Don Gill were recognized for being kind, being safe and/or being responsible. These are the core behaviors for our PBIS or positive behavior intervention and supports system. PBIS is designed to encourage and reward good behavior. We will be recognizing students all year long!

Here are some library reminders for our elementary students! It can be hard to keep track of what day is what special, so here's a quick post you can screenshot in case you're not sure when your student's library book is due. Students can always renew a book but they need to bring their library books to library special each week. Thanks for helping us keep the libraries going!

Some great math instruction this morning at DGES!
