We had a fantastic week of guest speakers this week at Kennedy. On Thursday, we had Dr. Ouzts from Gainesville College (Yes, Mrs. Ouzts' husband!) talk to our 4th Graders about the Revolutionary War. He also spoke to our 5th Graders about World War I. It was very exciting to hear from a professor of history about what really happened. Most of the facts we learned about are in our textbooks, but Dr. Ouzts shared some info that was not! Thanks.
On Friday, we were lucky to have Health M Powers come and speak to the students about the special power that they all have to make healthy choices. Our 3-5 grade students were able to use the remote answering system to solve some healthy choice problems while our younger students learned songs and cheers to remind them of the healthy choices they should make. We are very lucky to be partnered up with Health M Powers; they have provided us with so many useful tools to incorporate health into all lessons.
We also had Mr. Todd Nickelson from the Oconee River Georgia Youth Science and Technology Center come and talk to our 4th and 5th Graders about participating in the Science Fair. Mr. Nickelson got all of the students excited about participating in April as he challenged them to think about what topics might interest them and what problems they can solve as they go through the Scientific Method.
Teachers at Kennedy Elementary School work so hard to provide the best education for our students, and it is always nice when we can have guest to come and support that as well.
