GSRP (Great Start Readiness Program) held a Professional Development Day on Friday, November 6. The morning session included Gladwin teachers and assistants learning about Referencing Print during read-alouds. Staff from across the district joined them for the afternoon session, which focused on Interactive Reading and Vocabulary Instruction. Both sessions included fun and helpful make-and-take activities for instructional staff to use in their classrooms. #CGRESD #ourstory #GSRP

The Harrison ECSE GSRP inclusion classroom is wrapping up AAC Awareness Month with a way for all kids to communicate during their trick-or-treat field trip. AAC varies from low-tech (pictures) to mid-tech (buttons) to high-tech (speech generating apps). All levels are a bridge to verbal communication and allow our students to show us what they want, need, think, and know. Thanks to Miss. Hawthorne, all students were able to fully participate in the Halloween festivities today! #OurStory #HarrisonEarlyChildhood #CGRESD
