Hello - this is a reminder that School Picture Day is tomorrow - Monday, October 2nd.
Thank you
Mrs. Eastland's First Grade class produced a How To guide entitled "How to Build with Kapla Blocks" to assist Miss Kelley's Kindergarteners build trees with these plank-like blocks used for experimental building.
Additionally, take a look at the wonderful artwork from Miss Kelley's Kindergarteners - they have been exploring watercolors at the easel and delving into "The Dot" project which encourages them to simply make a dot and see where their creativity takes them.
Science isn't the only field that benefits from our laboratory facilities; Mrs. Poiss fully utilizes our functional art studio when engaging students ranging from Kindergarten to High School. The "Pennies for your Thoughts" project seamlessly transitioned into a watercolor assignment, where students created individual squares that will eventually come together to form a canvas quilt.
The last two weeks have been busy for our science classes - our High School Natural Resources Class presented their "Map of Place" at the Maine Forest Collaborative Cohort Day while our 6th Grade Science class collected macroinvertebrates from the brook along the nature trail behind GCS and our 4th and 5th Graders honed their coding and robotics skills on the auditorium stage awaiting the finishing touches to our new elementary science lab!
GCS students have actively engaged in their learning and enjoyed the advantages of living in the Moosehead Lake Region! See highlights from the annual GCS/AMC collaborative venture to the AMC Medawisla Lodges on 2nd Roach Pond where they learned to canoe and kayak as well as hiked up Shaw Mountain - a six mile round trip adventure! Thank you to Andy Shaw, GCS K-12 PE/Health Teacher and AD, Stephany and Katie of AMC, and our Parent Volunteers - Billy Curtis, Melissa Hamilton, Dominick Poiss, and Cordie Seeley. With the invaluable support of these staff and parent volunteers, our 7th Graders transcended their daily routines and forged bonds that go beyond the typical middle school experience.
