The kindergarten students in Ms. McGee's and Mrs. Henley's class used chalk and playdough to create 2-dimensional shapes.
Goose Creek Elementary has been blessed by the Goose Creek Walmart Supercenter and Walmart Neighborhood Market! These generous stores have provided enough pumpkins for each of our classes to get their very own pumpkin! Each class will be decorating their pumpkin to represent their favorite book or book character. Pumpkins will be displayed at next Thursday's Trunk or Treat! We would also like to give a special thanks to Terrell, a Goose Creek Elementary Alumni, for loading up Dr. Gebhardt's car. He is not only incredibly strong, but also an amazingly kind young man who we are proud to call one of our own. Thanks Terrell for proving that "once an otter, always an otter"!
Students in Mrs. Drennon's and Mrs. Myer's 4K class are having so much fun exploring the roles of community helpers in dramatic play centers!

Just a friendly reminder that GCE's half-day dismissal is at 10:50 am. Students with a red bus tag attached to their bookbag must still have an adult waiting for them at the bus stop.
Parents and Guardians,
Students who are not in school today and who do not have their packets of work or their Chromebooks, will be given their assignments when they return to school and they will have three days to complete their work. Once their work is completed they will be marked present for our eLearning day.
Greetings Parents and Guardians,
With today's half-day dismissal and rainy weather, we expect car-rider dismissal to take a little longer than usual. Please be patient with us as we do our best to keep the students dry and safe this afternoon.
