When it comes to our youngest learners, celebrate the "practice" of reading. Reading for our littles can be simply looking at the illustrations and imagining a story. This takes courage. Build them up at every attempt. Their courage will transform into confidence.
Hats off to these amazing students for receiving a positive office referral today! We were excited to also do a positive phone call home!
Thank you to everyone who came to our PTA Community Helpers Night this evening!
McGowen is so excited to start buddy classrooms once a month! This past month each classroom was paired with a buddy class to do activities. Our buddy classes were established to promote leadership, positive student mentorship, and a sense of belonging for all of our students. ❤️
