From Chalk the Walk welcome-back messages to settling into new routines, our students are off to a wonderful start! In STEM, students are reviewing the design process and laying the groundwork for an exciting year of hands-on learning. In PE, Ms. Paulik is getting to know her students through fun and engaging games—with a goal of learning every student’s last name this year!
We are also thrilled to welcome our newest Swallow Union students - our Kindergartners! They are busy making new friends, exploring their classrooms, and learning the routines and expectations that will help them feel confident and connected at school.
What a great beginning to a new school year! We are so excited for all that is ahead!
A great first day starts with building a strong classroom community! Swallow Union teacher Mrs. Marino and her students spent time establishing classroom norms and expectations to help set the tone for a positive and successful year ahead! #gdrsdchat

It was great to welcome back former Math Coordinator Karen Gartland today at Swallow Union! Although she retired last year, she clearly couldn't stay away from helping students become mathematicians. Karen spent time with third graders playing the math game Which Number is Closer?, engaging students in mathematical thinking, problem-solving, and plenty of fun along the way. The students loved the experience, and it was wonderful to have a GDRSD legend back in our midst! #GDRSDChat
