🍎 To finish up their week learning all about apples, Mrs. Gowdy & Ms. Griffin’s Pre-K class tasted different kinds of apples and voted for their favorite! They ended their apple fun with a sweet treat—apple doughnuts and apple juice! 🍩🧃🍏

Such a fun and yummy way to wrap up apple week! ❤️ #wearejtr #4theT

Attendance is more than just being present—it’s the foundation for student success. Every school day gives students the opportunity to learn, build relationships, develop confidence, and prepare for their future. Missing just two days each month can quickly add up and impact academic achievement.
Together, let's encourage our students to show up, be engaged, and make every minute count. Every day. Every class. Every opportunity.

Every family and community has a story worth sharing.

Turn up the music and build language through song.

For Sing Together Wednesday, share a favorite song, nursery rhyme or silly tune with a child. Singing helps children hear and play with sounds, words and rhythm—and makes literacy part of an everyday moment.

No perfect voice required. Just sing, smile and enjoy the moment together.

This week, Ms. Elisa and Ms. McCall's Pre-K class learned about making healthy choices, including eating nutritious foods and practicing good hygiene. 🥦🧼 Today, they enjoyed some “healthy popsicles” and held a taste test featuring sweet tomatoes, broccoli, carrots, strawberries, purple grapes, cotton candy grapes, kiwi, and mango. 🍓🥕🥝🥭 Afterward, they recorded which foods they liked. When the children tasted the cotton candy grapes, one said, “You tricked us! These taste like cotton candy, but there’s no cotton candy inside!” 🍇 That fun surprise explains some of their silly faces! 😄 #wearejtr #4theT

In honor of Georgia Reads Day, Mrs. Waldrop visited Ms. Burgess’s kindergarten class for a special read-aloud! Here are a few pictures from the celebration. They loved listening as Mrs. Waldrop shared a wonderful book with the class! 📚🍑❤️

Students in Ms. Carter's 2nd-grade class created various structures to explore how atoms work together and can be assembled and reassembled to form new structures. 💙 #wearejtr #4theT

Every conversation is a literacy moment.

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?”

Every day in school matters! Missing just two days a month can add up to 18 missed days in one school year. Strong attendance supports better grades and helps build habits for future success. Let’s show up on time and ready to learn. Every class brings a new opportunity!

Turn the page, Georgia. 🍑

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.

Thank You for Keeping Georgia Reading.


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.

Talk More. Sing More. Read More.

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.

When Georgia Reads, Georgia Thrives.

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.
