Technology and tradition co-exist in Gilroy’s classrooms
My greatest accomplishments in third grade were winning the spelling championship and retaining my position as a steady-ender for jump rope during lunch recess. Nowadays, some third graders are focusing on explaining character development in Peter Pan, symbolism in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and being able to name more than ten different shapes. In the spirit of full disclosure, I am a weekly classroom volunteer at Navigator's Gilroy Preparatory School (GPS) and the obnoxiously proud mother of a third grade teacher at GPS. My daughter thinks I work in the classroom to help her with her two classes of thirty children. The real truth is that I go for the hugs the kids give me!Â
