Loops and Paper Weaving in Set for the GS/CP

The next handwriting element that the GS/Cp are learning is "loops".
 
They read Sandy's Circus by Tanya Lee Stone, a story about Alexander Calder. They watched a video of his circus show. Later students drew Calder inspired loops, filled with bright colors.











After studying vertical and horizontal lines students combine the knowledge of both and learn what is a grid. Then they practice weaving paper strips in this colorful collage.

The French students of Mt Ararat High School visit us

This morning, we had the visit of Mt Ararat High School students. Some of them have been studying French for 3 years, some for 5. They had prepared questions en français for the students about school, French, activities. They visited each class and spend time talking with the students in French. Our students asked them questions very spontaneously about their experience with the French language.












What a wonderful experience! They enjoyed sharing stories!
