Central Elementary School

🍁 Fall Fun in Ms. Gordon’s Class! 🍁 Shoutout to Ms. Gordon's amazing class for putting their creativity and smarts to work this season! They've been using their fall boards to practice digraphs and forming new words – literacy skills in action! 📝✨ They’re also doing some hands-on math with pumpkins 🎃, learning about odd and even numbers in the most festive way. It's all about making learning engaging and fun! Great job, Panthers! 🐾📚 #PantherPride #FallLearning #CentralElementary
