George Washington School

Big happy crowd out tonight for GW and EVG bingo night! Thank you PTO!

Did you know? Children that read 20 minutes per day will have heard 1.8 million words a year! They will also score better than 90% of their peers on standardized tests. Therefore, we make sure our students get independent reading time every single day! #Buildinglifelongreaders

Our teachers start the day off right with some individualized, special greeting time. This helps our students get a positive start to their day. It also helps every student understand that they belong and they matter! #buildingpositiveclassroomcommunities

Did you know? Movement helps students focus, integrate information in the brain and stay motivated. For that reason, we make sure to give our young learners opportunities to move while they learn!

Don't Forget! Girl Scouts Program for grades K-2 begins tomorrow at GW from 3-4pm. For more information contact Ms. DaCosta at cdacosta@gsnnj.org.

Starting the year off right! Our second graders made some great New Year's resolutions to ensure they continue to do their very best this year! #focusedonlearning #phoneticwritingatitsbest #waytogosecondgraders

Watch out for our shape detectives! Our preschoolers went on a shape scavenger hunt throughout our school building. They were amazed by the number of shapes they saw all around. Our office space alone has dozens of squares and rectangles! #mathonthego #prekgeometry #prekfun

Tis the season! Please remember to check our lost & found for any items that may belong to your child.

Ms. Jaggi's class uses beads to compose and decompose numbers. This visual, tactile strategy helps students strengthen their understanding of numerical relationships and helps build fine motor as well! #mathfun #firstgrademath #GWmathematicians!
