GES - REWARD SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gordonsville Elementary School

Reward School for the 2012-2013 School Year

The letter from our Commissioner of Education states:

As outlined in the state's ESEA Flexibility Waiver, the department will identify Reward Schools annually.  Reward Schools are those schools across the state in the top 5 percent for performance, measured by a one year success rate, or top 5 percent for progress, measured by a one year TVAAS school composite.  

GES was one of 70 Reward Schools across the state, grades K-12, based on performance.  Hats off to our faculty, students, and parents for this award. WooHoo!!!!

Free Online Books

GES Families,

Oxford Owl

I Drew a Yellow Unicorn

I drew a yellow unicorn,
Complete with polka dots,
A seven-legged elephant,
A pig with purple spots,
The sky was full of furry fish
All flying upside down,
An octopus was dressed in plaid,
A camel wore a crown.

I drew a green rhinoceros
That floated on the breeze,
Some bees as big as basketballs,
And blue spaghetti trees,
The penguins wore pajamas,
And a carrot flew a kite...
My teacher says it's beautiful---
I think my teacher's right.

Third Grade Poetry

Allow Me to Introduce Myself

Poem by Charles R. Smith, Jr.
Storyworks Feb/March 2011

They call me
the show stopper
the dime dropper
the spin-move-to-the-left
reverse jam poppa.
The high flier
on the high wire.
The intense rim-rattlin'
noise
amplifier.

The net-shaker
back board breaker
creator
of the funky dunk
hip-shaker.
The Man
Sir Slam
The Legend
I be.

That's just
a few of the names
they call me.

From Short Takes  by Charles R. Smith, Jr.


Bandit

By Peggy Archer
Storyworks Nov/Dec 2010

My dog has two black patches
that cover up his eyes.
He sneaks around from room to room,
a bandit in disguise.

Stealing socks and slippers,
baseball caps and soap,
garden gloves and wooden spoons,
keys and jumping rope.

So if there's something missing,
like a book or cowboy boot,
just take a look by Bandit's bed---
that's where he keeps his loot.

From Name That Dog! by Peggy Archer

Using Pinterest for Glogster

I am addicted to Pinterest... need I say more!  It is so easy to spend hours and hours looking for new apps, sites, recipes, etc.  I never thought about looking for public domain pictures to use for glogster.  The following link explains the steps involved.  Pinterest is blocked at school; however, most students work on their glogs at home anyway.
