We have been discussing what it means to be a global citizen! Today, in our journals, students have the opportunity to write about the global issue they believe to be most important and why. Very excited to hear some shared responses!! #globalcitizen #opinion @GlenwoodGriffin

Today, we began a big art project modelled after a fantastic artist named Chuck Close! We first learned about the artist himself and now we are beginning phase one of our personal Chuck Close Art - a self-portrait! #artists #creativity @GlenwoodGriffin @MsAwender

@mrsvreman @MsAwender @DiotteEmily @GlenwoodGriffin We saw this happening and students were sooooo excited and curious to know when it would be their turn to do the same!! Fun fun!

We have been enjoying the Body Break we take each day! Fresh air, physical activity and communication with friends outside of the classroom help us to reset!
