Gloversville Enlarged School District

📚✨ What’s That on the Sidewalk?! ✨📚 It’s Mrs. Codding's Annual Sidewalk Poetry Day — and it was nothing short of incredible! 🗓 When: Wednesday, 4/23/25 👥 Who: Our ELA 9 and ELA 10 scholars ✍️ What: A celebration of poetic voices, creativity, and self-expression Grade 9 scholars crafted Diamante Poetry — beautiful diamond-shaped poems that don’t rhyme but shine with powerful imagery and contrasting subjects. Grade 10 scholars created Where I’m From Poetry — deeply personal pieces rooted in memory, setting, and everyday details that shape identity. 📝 The process? Discussion ➡️ Drafting ➡️ Revising ➡️ Editing ➡️ Peer Feedback ➡️ Final Approval ➡️ Sidewalk Showcase! They used tools like thesaurus.com to elevate their language and collaborated thoughtfully with peers to refine their pieces. 🌟 Sidewalk Poetry Day continues to be a GHS tradition that brings words to life — literally. Seeing our scholars’ creativity on full display is a reminder of the talent, effort, and heart that lives within our classrooms. Huge shoutout to Mrs. Codding for leading this inspiring experience and to all of our scholars who showed up with their best: determination, respect, creativity, and thoughtfulness. 💫 👏 Way to go, GHS! Let the words lead the way. #SidewalkPoetryDay #GHSscholars #CreativityInAction #ELAExcellence

🦖🔬 Is There a T-Rex in My Gas Tank?! 🔬🦖 Mrs. Fagel’s class had a blast completing the District science investigation, “Is There a T-Rex in My Gas Tank?” — an engaging lesson created by our very own high school science teacher, Jen Hazzard! 👩‍🏫🧪 Our young scientists had so much fun making their own fossils, digging them out, and learning all about fossils and fossil fuels. The best part? They each got to take their fossil home! 🦴🏡 Thank you to Mrs. Fagel and Ms. Hazzard for bringing science to life in such a fun and hands-on way! 👏 #ScienceIsFun #FutureScientists #FossilFun #GloversvillePride
