GMS 6TH GRADERS TAKE ON THE MODEL UNITED NATIONS

You may wonder what happens in school after all the STAAR tests are taken. Well, at GMS, we keep working hard and learning all the way to the end of the year! In fact, we go above and beyond teaching to any test all year long. For example, 6th grade students went cross-curricular and worked to research and develop proposals for the Model United Nations in both their Social Studies and Reading Language Arts classes. Last week, their hard work prepared them to hold delegation and present their countries' proposals to solving the issue of girls' access to education across the globe. They were professional and impressive in their presentations and collaboration!
