Mrs. Michaud’s students worked together to create a chain with 1000 links. They grouped them in tens and then 100s. Then they spread the chain from their room all the way to the kindergarten rooms!

During our Animal Adaptions unit in Science, Mrs. Welch’s Class had so much fun searching for moths that were camouflaged amongst the trees. We first enjoyed looking for the moths and then we designed our own moths to hide within our classroom! We are still looking for some of them!

GSB 2nd graders always finding ways to have fun in the woods!

Mr. Coleman's class studies a young Beech tree at the Hidden Valley Nature Center that had all of the bark removed. The tree appears to be covered in teeth marks almost all the way to the top. I wonder what did that?

Welcome back to GSB’s softball coach Beth Sewall!

This is Beth’s second year coaching GSB softball, and a total of three years coaching; transitioning from farm league to middle school softball. Beth played the game for seven years, where she had two coaches that inspired her to coach. Coaching for Beth is a passion and she enjoys being able to keep the sport alive for her athletes. Coach Beth takes pride in her ability to evaluate all of her athletes and helps them excel in different positions on the field that they may have never thought they would be an asset in. She works with each athlete to build confidence on and off the field. Coach Beth’s moto measures the success of her team by the impact her athletes have on their own growth throughout the season, not by the amount of games won. With growth comes respect, winning of games, and a whole lot of fun!

Best of luck to Beth and the GSB softball team this season!

Ms. Tracy's class wrapped up their month of tennis lessons at the Y with Ms. Georgia. They had a blast and improved their skills.
