Here are some reports from the teachers of each of our afternoon classes for the last week in the Program. We have organized them by class:
Choir (Colette Tanner, Instructor)
The students are working very hard on preparing their music for the end of the summer concert. Students have also been taking rhythmic and melodic dictation. All of their repertoire is listed on our GPGC CHOIR BLOG with listening links. We have discussed our END OF THE SUMMER BRIDGE PROJECT that is due next Wednesday. We have also discussed dress for the end of the year concert. The students seem excited about their songs and I greatly enjoy working with them.
Computer Tech (Barry Humphus, Instructor)
Students were introduced to the Arduino platform and Integrated Developer Environment and constructed their first of several electronic circuits.
Critical Thinking (Ms. Jessica Markstrom, Instructor)
This week students participated in a quiz bowl. Questions come from a high school Quiz Bowl tournament. We also played games. Games included Blokus, Chess, Hippos and Crocs, Lords of Waterdeep, Score Four, Set, Stratego, Tsuro, and Twixt.
