Happy December, Families!
With only three weeks of school, this month will speed by! As the winter weather cooperates, we continue to hold our All School Gatherings outdoors. These Friday morning traditions are a special part of learning at GES and we are thankful to be able to continue them in a Covid safe manner. This morning, the Lynx class (Gr. 5/6) donned costumes and led the school in a Recycling Rap, with an added twist: American Sign Language! Recycling at GES is the Lynx Environmental Ed daily project, and this group loves their music, so their presentation was a great fit!
A message from Director Rachael “We are like a snowflake, all different in our own beautiful way.” ~ Unknown Snowflakes and self-portraits. They may seem an odd pair, but after reading an article about snowflakes today, I can’t seem to think of one without the other. Let me tell you why. Each class has produced a different style of self-portrait to capture a student’s sense of self at this singular stage of their development. Using watercolors, mixed media, and sewing students have displayed their individuality. Just like snowflakes, each self-portrait has similarities, but their differences are what make each one unique. I can’t wait for everyone to see them! Thank you for sharing your children with us! Rachael |
