School  wide  News     Take  Your  Child  To  Work  Day     Gateway   is   a   proud   supporter   of   national   “Take   Your   Child   To   Work   Day”.     Children   were     welcomed  with  open  arms  as  they  attended  specially  designated  activities  for  their  day.    They     created  their  own  individual  pizzas  in  the  morning,  which  they  later  enjoyed  for  lunch.    The   entire  day  was  filled  with  fun  activities  for  them  to  do,  while  learning  how  a  school  operates   in  the  process.    The  children  all  know  what  it’s  like  to  be  a  student  in  a  classroom,  but  this  day       they   were   able   to   experience   the   operations   of   the   school   from   a   different   perspective.       Following  are  pictures  from  the  day’s  events.           Mrs.  Muller  had  a  cupcake  icing  party  for  visiting   students  (l-­‐r)  Nikki,  Rachael  and  Dahlia  in  the   gourmet  cooking  room.                           No   free   lunches   here   –   you   want   to   eat,   you   have   to   work!     Fortunately,   everyone   was   having   a   great   time   with   it.     Some   of   the   creations   were   unique   and   very   interesting!       Ms.   Rodriguez  didn’t  let  this  day  go  to   waste  with   her  three  charges,  (l-­‐r)  Claire,  Makayla,  and  Sofia.       She  put  the  day  to  good  use   helping   the   girls  learn   about   products   and   practices   of   language   by   having   discussions   about   their   childhood   and   playing   games   from   their   culture.     They   played   traditional  games  with  Ms.  Rodriguez’s  class  while   learning  some  Spanish  in  the  process.
