Here are a few more moments from this year that exemplify why I am thankful to our GAC students every day.
Today, I find myself reflecting on how incredibly grateful I am for our amazing students and the space we share learning and making memories together.
As of Monday, November 22, a high school boys basketball coach, a girls basketball coach, and a Pembine girls basketball player tested positive for COVID-19 over the weekend. We ask staff, students, and especially basketball players to monitor for symptoms. All practices have been canceled for the week. If you have any questions you can leave a message at the high school office at 715-336-2575 ext. 203. Someone will return your call.
After convincing me to adapt Agatha Christie’s famous mystery novel “And Then There Were None” into a readers’ theatre script, the sophomore students are really embodying their roles.
Some more elementary holiday artwork. Kindergarten turkey headbands. Julia’s snowman. Autumn and Chloie’s turkeys. The 5th and 6th grade class was given free time to work on a project of their choosing the past few days.
A few of our elementary classes with their Thanksgiving turkeys.
Natalie and Layla are two of our independent art students creating a series on the pottery wheel. We held an informal critique today. They are working hard to design enough pieces to fill the kiln for our first firing.
These turned out so amazing! The 1st/2nd grade class learned what a horizon line is in art class. They colored trees in patterns with crayons. The crayon wax acted as a resist for the watercolor foreground and background.
The Kindergarten class learned to paint with texture using forks, corks, paper tubes, and tooth brushes. They had read the story, The Mixed-up Chameleon. The students also learned to paint with watercolors to create a mixed media piece of art.
Here is another batch of student designed 3D printed phone holders. It's always great to see the ideas the student come up with. As always great job!
The art department would like to extend a huge thank you to Mr. Stephen Wysocki for his generous donation that helped supplement our field trip to Door County. Mr. Wysocki was also a guest artist and performed an oil painting demo as he discussed his art career to our students.
The Kindergarten class was reading, Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Our art project coordinated with the story to emphasize texture that was painted with a fork. The cut outs helped with spatial awareness and working with layers.
GAC will be hosting a Veterans Day assembly on Thursday, November 11 at 10:15 AM. The GAC School District would like to thank all of the veterans for their service.
The seventh grade art class composed paper collage animal portraits. They learned to use patterns to define an area.
The Fab Lab students had a project of designing their own 3D printed phone holder. This gave the students the opportunity to visualize the finished project while working with the dimensions of their phone. Great design ideas and great work!
The 5th graders created decimal animals using base ten blocks to practice adding decimals today!
The first and second grade art class was inspired by the artist, Piet Mondrian, while creating their primary color, spider webs.
The kindergarten class crafted spooky ghost windows.
The 1st/2nd grade class created Wacky Witch Legs. They painted the watercolor wash for the background. Then cutout the witch parts from paper and a foam sheet. Lastly, the class stamped orange polka dots on the skirt using a pencil eraser.
Our 4K/5K class created Halloween owls that reinforced colors and shapes. They also received more experience with scissors and glue and how to follow a straight line while applying the triangles. Great job, kindergartners!
