A lemonade stand and ice cream sundaes made learning extra fun at Dove Elementary last week. As a culmination to their economics unit where they learned about earning, saving and spending money, the RISE class hosted a lemonade stand during recess, greeting customers and preparing each cup. Meanwhile, mastering multiplication facts was extra sweet for third graders who were treated to an ice cream sundae party, with the number of topping selections based on the number of facts they mastered. Way to make learning a treat!

What better way to celebrate learning all about idioms than illustrating them with a parade! That’s what Dove second grade did last week as students and staff dressed in figurative expressions.

Coach Bree Moody transformed Dove Elementary P.E. into a mini-golf course last week! While the students were busy sinking putts, they were actually mastering their "striking unit" that aligns to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) manipulative skills standards.

Congratulations to Colleyville Middle School, Cross Timbers Middle School, Grapevine Middle School, Heritage Middle School, and Grapevine High School for receiving Josten’s Yearbook of Excellence Award!

Today, our elementary schools showed their creativity as they prepped students for upcoming state testing with Rockin’ Review! These are high impact, engaging instructional strategies to review material learned this school year. The fun included decorating hallways to set the stage for review, “Glow Day” class time and a construction theme focusing on skills students “built” this school year. Way to make learning fun!

Today was Literary Lunch Day at GCISD elementary schools! This is a way that GCISD Nutrition Services connects the classroom into the lunchroom. One student per grade who chose a plate lunch was randomly selected to receive this month’s book, “If You Give a Moose a Muffin,” a silly and delightful story about a moose whose snack turns into a big adventure. A complimentary book is also provided to each elementary school library.

Today, our GCISD Career and Technical Education students in the engineering and automotive programs competed in the Electric Vehicle Grand Prix! They collaborated to build and race a full scale electric go kart and competed against surrounding school districts, all proving that they have the drive to succeed.
