Our Prek & Kindergarteners didn’t make it to the Camelot Theatre to see the Winnie the Pooh play today, so their teacher brought a little theater fun to the classroom! They enjoyed a movie and popcorn together, turning a change of plans into a special day. 🍿🎭❤️🖤

☀️📚 Math learning took place outdoors today! Our second graders took math outside for a fun, hands on learning experience! Students practiced counting collections by organizing objects into smaller groups of 5s and 10s to build larger numbers. They also used base ten blocks to create and represent numbers. What a great way to make math meaningful, engaging, and fun! 🔢❤️🖤
GSCS invites English and Multilingual Learning families to attend ESOL Art Night on Dec. 10!
