ALL ABOUT ME!
In East Feliciana Public Schools, we work every day to ensure our students are safe and empowered! During the first week of school, students in Ms. Woodridge’s third grade classroom at Clinton Elementary School practiced their speaking and listening skills by curating three meaningful items that hold special significance for them in an “All About Me” bag and sharing about the contents of that bag with their classmates. This activity is designed for students to learn more about each other to create a safe and empowering classroom environment. Way to go, CES third graders!
