My name

    Gavazi Public School children were involved in the project "My name around the world". The students are in the 3rd grade. They found out why they are called the name, whose name they have got, who gave them the name, who was the first person in the family with similar name. They named famous people with the same name and named their nonofficial name in Georgia. They also researched the number of students with their names at Gavazi Public School.
The students made cards where they wrote the description of their names. After finishing work on the project, they shared the information in their cards with their classmates, teachers and parents. Now we are sharing it with the world.
