Afternoon Classes:
Choir (Colette Tanner, Instructor)
We are working on songs that use “water” as an analogy for the “journey of life.” If you would like to see and hear the repertoire we have been working on, here is a link to the CHOIR BLOG: https://gpgcsings.blogspot.com/
Critical Thinking (Robert and Jessica Markstrom, Instructors)
This week the students mostly played games, but we did bring back a favorite activity from LEGO week.
Debate (Robert and Jessica Markstrom, Instructors)
This week we focused on basic debate concepts. Two students worked on their debates for next week on the topic, Resolved: The U.S. would defeat Russia in a conventional war. Another student is working on a persuasion speech regarding the recent legislation on the 10 Commandments in Louisiana public schools.
Mixed Ensemble (Brandon LaFleur, Instructor)
The ensemble continued to work through the syncopated rhythms of The Pokemon theme and polished aspects of Pigstep and Great Fairy’s Fountain. Thursday we began working on the Tetris theme. We also began to explore the fundamentals of improvisation in the key of A minor (Pigstep and Tetris). The students generally find this daunting, but they’re getting more comfortable with it each day. Practice makes progress!
P.E. (Ancil Delaney, Instructor)
The students played pickleball.
Dorms (Kathy Barrios, Coordinator of Housing)
