Fantastic First Day

What a fantastic first day! First, our fourth graders learned about the Engineering Design Process, focusing on the "Imagine" step. They discussed symbols of Texas, and they began to imagine a design for an oil derrick model. They were also introduced to the GCISD 25 Book Challenge and our reading and writing workshop structures. My favorite part of our class today was hearing our scholars talk about series/books/authors that they love. They were already recommending great books to each other! What a wonderful start to the school year!
