Figurative Language with 6th Graders!!!

Students reviewed several types of figurative language in the library. They were able to scan QR codes to watch a short review video before writing their own examples.  Figurative language makes writing come alive!!!

Remembering 9/11 and Celebrate Freedom Week

Although it has taken me a while to get this onto my blog, I still wanted to share.  5th grade GT students at Gilmer Intermediate worked on their patriotic quilt in remembrance of 9/11 as well as honoring our country during Celebrate Freedom week. They used symbolic words to write acrostic poems. Poems were compiled to make this quilt. 

Johnny Appleseed in the Library!!

Mrs. Coleman's class came for their weekly library visit and we read Johnny Appleseed.  Did you know he was actually a REAL person?!  Students enjoyed making their apples in class after reading the book.  ~ Thank you Mrs. Coleman and Mrs. Woodard!!
