ELP Update

Hello ELP students and Families,


We've been super busy here at GBS....

• If you get a chance, check out The Bobcat's Meow. The student journalists have been creating many fabulous articles about the happenings at the school

• The scriptwriters have finished the play. It is called Dragon-Aid : The Flavor with the Fiery Kick. It promises to be a fantastic show!

• Costume Design is in full swing, now that the play is finished. We'll have a display of some models of costumes in the main hallway right after vacation. The designers have been creating and thinking very thoughtfully.

• If you check out the previous post, you can see what the Applied Mathematicians have been doing.

• 5th Grade mathematicians have been learning about graphing and about Pi. We are looking forward to Pi Day in March!

•  Improv and Public Speaking has been working with new members to continue learning good public speaking skills and to start to prepare for a show in April. 

• Griffin's Nest boasts 60 total children involved with the program! We are very excited to celebrate the ongoing connections between GBS and AES students.

• Our newest class, Flip Vid Movie Making is off to a great start. We hope to have some movies to show you soon. So stay tuned!

There are over 100 students involved with ELP at GBS. It is the whole range of grades and learners. I'm proud of you. Keep up the good work everyone!
