What a bittersweet day at GTE! So special getting to see students from my very first 3rd grade class during their Grad Walk today. I loved hearing them yell, “Toucans are… Ter-rif-ic!” Congrats, Class of 2026! 🎓📚🏫 @GTEtoucans@collierschools
We kicked off Quarter 2 with a pep rally to celebrate all of our amazing accomplishments from Quarter 1 and to get pumped for what’s ahead! 🎉
📚 Readers are leaders — let’s make this quarter our best one yet! 🚀 @GTEtoucans
Lindsay Fitz utilizes the "Igniting Collaboration While Enhancing Engagement" high impact practice to empower students to lead their own learning through positive experiences and collaboration.

Our fourth-grade wax museum was a huge success during Leadership Day today. The students did an amazing job representing their famous leaders through powerful speeches and incredible costumes! #Leaders#GTE#LeadershipDay@GTEtoucans@ChadCCPS@collierschools
Dissecting owl pellets was so much fun!
We investigated, made inferences, and built a food chain based on the bones we found. Thank you @Champs4Learning ! Your generous donation to our fourth graders made this possible.

I was super excited when I got a special invite to the 5th grade awards ceremony to help celebrate 3 of my former students. All 3 of them got a PERFECT score on their 4th grade PM3 Math FAST test. So proud of them and their accomplishments! 👏🏼#Congrats@GTEtoucans
These fourth graders LOVED their first Junior Deputy lesson with our YRD, Corporal Dusch. Some students even got to try on some of his equipment to see how heavy it is. #juniordeputy#fourthgrade@GTEtoucans@marinesheriff
The fourth graders at @GTEtoucans got hands-on in science with a flower dissection. Using the zoomy, students were able to get an up-close look at the parts of a flower to help them explain the process of plant reproduction. #fourthgrade#science#floweringplants@MrsParlier_5
Gathering some data and having fun while doing it! These fourth graders are having a blast gathering data for our math unit on line plots and stem-and-leaf plots, all while adding some competition to it! @GTEtoucans#math#fourthgrade#gatherdata#lineplots
A special thank you to two of our amazing guest readers, @CandacePerezc9 and @MrsHartley1112, for Read Across America Week! We loved your read alouds! ❤️📚📖 @GTEtoucans
These fourth graders @GTEtoucans did an amazing job with our Socratic Seminar on our novel Esperanza Rising. You would never know that they were nervous. They enjoyed it so much they asked if they could do it again! #NovelStudy#FourthGrade#Reading
