Great learning taking place Top; At the last Gilpin County School Board meeting first graders presented a reading of Aesop’s fable the Fox and the Crow. Middle, right; Connor and his assistant Daizsa Caldwell work with his communication device, which is controlled by his eyes. He opens folders, selects words, phrases, letters or numbers by staring in the same spot until it “clicks”. Connor is a great example of how with a little extra effort kids with different abilities can learn and participate with their grade level. Bottom, right; The Gilpin County School Board Artist for February was Eowyn Peterson who shared their Rocky Mountain Cottontail Rabbit watercolor painting. Eowyn is also researching the animal and its habitat in different Colorado regions. Middle, left; First graders Kelly, Connor, Quinn and Elizabeth were all smiles after their presentation. They were proud to demonstrate their growth in reading.
