Welcome to the GATEWAY classroom! We are so excited to start a new year of learning. This year our Bartow County theme is "Mysteries and Forensic Science." We will be studying "Enigmas and Detectives.” We will gather evidence to solve the world's mysteries, as well as, clues in the science of forensic study .
We will continue our Greek and Latin root study and learn how small parts of words carry meaning! We are going to have a busy, jammed packed year that the students will LOVE!!! Our younger grades will learn how to think through a program called PETS, Primary Educational, Thinking, Skills. It is an enrichment thinking skills program that teaches how to be a convergent, divergent, evaluative, and visual thinker. Students are engaged through the lives of animals that live in Crystal Pond Woods. Each character has a lesson to teach and how to think in a creative way. The students will also, have research and exploration opportunities through mini units along the way.
