Irish Gifted Academy
Week of October 2nd, 2022
From the Desk of Dr. Norfleet
Happy Weekend IGA family!
What a wonderful week! This past week our reimagineers took part in our first House Day of the school year and received a Lead Learner Update from our amazing superintendent, Dr. Williams.
Students competed in both academic and athletic competitions to earn points for their perspective houses. We were so proud of the sportsmanship, collaboration, and family like atmosphere that our students and teachers exhibited during our House Day! Great job students and staff!
Let's have another wonderful week! Go Fighting Irish!
From the Desk of Mrs. Methvin
Wow! What an EXCITING week at IGA with education reimagined!
Our Reimagineers have experienced Autumn weather, tracked Hurricane Ian, earned
House Points, and enjoyed our first House Day for the 2022-23 school year! Next week will be Georgia Pre-K Week 2022. I would like to highlight Mrs. Soles and Mrs. Orr’s Pre-K class. All Georgia Pre-K students received a copy of the book, "Hey, Georgia" by Malcolm Mitchell. Our Pre-K students will celebrate the great state of Georgia for the entire week. Students will explore their home state with art projects, science experiments, vocabulary cards, and map skills. Parents and students will share photos and locations around our great state that they have visited. A special guest will surprise the students by reading their favorite book.
The culminating activity will be making homemade peanut butter. YUMMY Fun!!!
Our Character Trait for the month of September was Cooperative. The
September Students of the Month were chosen based on that character trait.
