Our 7th grade ELA students in Mr. Mitcham’s class put their critical thinking skills to work! 🧠📖
Students created a T-chart graphic organizer to answer the question: “How does the text differ from the interview?”
They compared an interview about Mom & Me & Mom by Maya Angelou with the text of the book, looking closely at how the two versions presented information. Students discovered that the text provided more descriptive details, giving readers a deeper look into the story and its characters.
What a great way to practice comparing sources, identifying details, and supporting ideas with evidence from the text!👏📚

Celebrate Talk Together Tuesday by starting a conversation with a child. Ask about their day, listen to their ideas and encourage them to tell you more. Every question, answer and shared laugh helps build language, vocabulary and connection.
Try asking: “What was your favorite part of your day?”

Georgia Reads Day launches Georgia Reads Week with one simple challenge: take a few minutes to read with a child or share a favorite story. As you read, ask, “What do you think will happen next?” One book and one moment together can help build stronger readers, families and communities.
Share your reading moment and invite someone else to join.

Behind every growing reader is an educator who encouraged one more page, introduced one more story and helped build one more moment of confidence.
This Georgia Reads Day, we celebrate Georgia’s teachers, media specialists and school leaders for creating classrooms where curiosity grows and reading comes to life. Thank you for helping students discover the knowledge, imagination and possibilities found in every book.

Your voice is one of your child’s most powerful learning tools. Talking through everyday moments, singing favorite songs and reading together help newborns and young children build language, strengthen connections and develop skills that support lifelong learning.
Healthcare providers, caregivers and families all play an important role. Start early, make it part of every day and remember: every word makes a difference.

Strong readers help build stronger schools, families and communities—and local libraries help make reading possible for everyone.
This Georgia Reads Day, visit your library, get a library card and discover the stories, resources and programs available in your community. When more Georgians have access to reading and learning, our entire state moves forward.

Yesterday afternoon, our True Blue Dads Crew gathered at NEMS for an afternoon filled with science, laughter, learning, and family fun! 🧪👨👧👦
Dads and their students teamed up to conduct fun science experiments, explore, learn, and enjoy quality time together. The experiments were a success—and the smiles and laughter made it even better! 😄🔬
Of course, we also enjoyed some snacks along the way! 🍿🍪
We love seeing our NEMS families come together, make memories, and stay connected to our school community. Thank you to all of our True Blue Dads and families for making the afternoon so much fun! 💙😈
