Today an 8th grader wasn't able to attend gym class so he asked to help out in the shop. On my rounds helping students, this image stood out to me. He was helping a senior student pull an engine on a snowmobile and so excited to be helping the older students and learning from them. This makes my job of teaching students and getting them excited to learn so much easier. Proud moment.

Within the Elementary, grades 1 - 6 have learned about each color of the rainbow.
The emotions that go with each color and what meaning the color has in the world. Then, they were to draw their favorite object/character/thing that was in that color.
Finally, classes were assigned colors and into groups to collage ALL the drawings from the classes into a poster to create their own GAC Elementary Rainbow.
The posters are hung in Miss. Johnson's classroom to show off the creative drawings, teamwork skills and to show off the colors of the rainbow.
I want to thank the GAC alumni for all the support you give our students, our new tig welder is up and running thanks to the donation from the Alumni Association. We received a box of welding tools donated by Tim Nulph and new welding jackets donated by Kyle Rocque both GAC alumni. Thanks again.

Thank you to Kubick Aviation and Harvey Pattern who offered a group of GAC Tech Ed students a tour of their facilities today. The student learned about jobs in avaition mechanincs or machine tooling and what skills are needed. The students asked great questions and were very engaged.
In Miss. Johnson's art class for 3rd & 4th grade: they learned how to finger knit! It is a fun way to make a garland. Great for the Holidays or just for a fun decoration. The kids started last week to practice and have been working on their garland in between other art activities & projects.
Come decorate some cookies!!

1st and 2nd graders learned about rocks this week so they used their m&m, sprinkles, and rice crispy minerals to make their own “rock” krispy treats!
On Friday we had a visit from a former student and alumni to talk to the welding students about his career and education path. He also demonstrated some techniques he learned, the students enjoyed having Tyler back in the shop .
Thanks Tyler for giving back to our school.

The 5th and 6th graders did a fur trading activity after reading and learning about colonial fur trading. Some students were English traders and had to collect 22 beaver pelts, and the other students were Fur Trappers and had to trade for goods. The students had so much fun!
