Our 5th grade classrooms, along with the GOISD MoCi rooms, had a special treat on Thursday. Ava Greil, a former Bessemer graduate gave an informative and interactive presentation on reptiles to the classes. She shared her knowledge as students embark on their persuasive writing lessons and will be writing their class pet essay to determine a new class pet. Thank you Ava for sharing your time and scaly friends with us!
