Author Visit
GBE was selected and involved in an exciting opportunity on Tuesday! Author Eric Litwin (author of the Pete the Cat Books) was at GBE to make a video to promote his upcoming book Groovy Joe Dance Party Countdown. Scholastic Books staged and produced the video; that will be viewed nationwide in the Fall to promote the book and Scholastic’s Fall Book Fairs.
Twenty-five students in grades K -2 were invited to participate in this production and they did a wonderful job!
FCPSOn Learning Walks
We
were excited for all of our teaching teams to participate in this week’s
Learning Walks to support our FCPSOn initiative and to continue the journey
with Professional Development opportunities.
Each
teacher spent two hours during the week visiting colleagues' classrooms to see
how technology is being integrated into instruction and how the work impacts
student learning. We were very excited to provide teachers time to learn
from one another and to reflect about their own innovative teaching strategies.
We are so proud of our GBE staff members!
