Merry Christmas from GATE! GATE students at Albertville Elementary School and Evans Elementary School joined together to create a unique Christmas tree at the Albertville City Board of Education Office. Students at Evans have been participating in the Great Mail Race by writing to students in different states. Each of the Evans' 5th grade GATE students, created ornaments with state flags and birds. Albertville Elementary GATE students made different types of origami ornaments to hang on the tree. In GATE class, stations were set up so that "student experts" could teach other students how to create origami figures. One of our ornaments were candy canes, fish, stockings, Santas, boxes, trees, elf shoes, wreaths, and stars. Not only did students make ornaments to share with our board of education, they also shared ornaments with Marshall Medical Center South Women's Hospital. If you are at MMCS, be sure to stop by the lobby of the Women's Center to see this beautiful tree! Thank you to Harper McCreless and his mom for decorating this tree for us!
Third grade group 1 students had a treat last week! Mrs. Makiko Jones came back to GATE and brought several friends with her. We loved seeing Nami and Akemi again and enjoyed meeting Haruki, Kayo, Yuka, and Yukina! Stations were set up around our GATE classroom and students rotated between the centers to create beautiful ornaments: Santa, star, wreath, candy cane, and even a poinsettia. Having these sweet friends in our classroom was so fun and each time they come we learn more about Japan.
Please enjoy this slideshow of 3rd grade GATE students created origami with our special guests.
Merry Christmas from GATE!
