2nd Grade Teacher Team

Picture
Our 2nd grade teachers, Ms. Blunt, Ms. DeBose, and Ms. Cola recently started the week off with a statement to their students of "Teamwork Makes the Dream Work."  These teachers meet daily to plan lessons and to discuss the best practices that will benefit the students of GSS. ​

Author of "Kin" Visits GSS

Picture
In conjunction with Baldwin & Co. Coffee & Bookstore, GSS was honored to host acclaimed author Carole Boston Weatherford and her son Jefferey Boston Weatherford as they launched a tour for their latest book Kin: Rooted in Hope.  It is a powerful portrait of a Black family tree shaped by enslavement and freedom, rendered in searing poems and accompanied by stunning artwork.  The narrative unfolds through poems that span five centuries and are told in multiple voices, from various people and the land itself.  It is a passionate look at a Black family's personal history and their impact on America's founding history - written especially for young readers.  GSS is blessed to have been a part of the launch of this book and our 7th grade ELA truly enjoyed their presentation.

Providing opportunities for our students to experience the arts is an essential part of the GSS mission.  All students have studio art and music incorporated into their schedules.  Student artwork is displayed throughout our school and our students regularly provide music for our liturgies.

At the beginning of every school year, the team from New Orleans Speech & Hearing Center does vision and hearing screenings for all PK-4 through 1st grade students and any new GSS students.  The NOSH team analyzes the results of those screenings and ensures that students receive any speech therapy services that they need during the school year.  The EENT Foundation funds two NOSH speech therapists to provide services for over 70 GSS students throughout the school year.  GSS is truly blessed by the generosity of the EENT Foundation and the team from the New Orleans Speech & Hearing Center.

The GSS PK-4 program introduces our earliest scholars to the foundational literacy, fine motor skills, and interpersonal skills that they need to succeed as they grow in their academic career.  Today's PK-4 lesson revolved around shapes - so they learned about the many shapes that make up the GSS school building and even drew their own renditions of the front of the school building.

NO Saints Cam Jordan Visits GSS

Science Experiments - Weathering

Picture
A huge thanks to Cam Jordan and the New Orleans Saints for taking time to visit with our amazing GSS students! Cam, your presence in the Black and Gold speaks volumes, and we want to express our sincere appreciation for your visit.  During his time with us, Cam shared some valuable insights with our students, delving into topics like leadership, the importance of education, cultivating a love for learning, and the significance of a strong work ethic.  We are genuinely fortunate to have Cam Jordan as a part of our community, and we extend our gratitude for his impactful message. Cam's wisdom will undoubtedly continue to inspire our students on their educational journey!

Recently in Mr. Perrin's science class, students participated in a hands on experiment studying weathering.  Students started with a simple jar filled with 4 sugar cubes and 3 marbles. The sugar cubes represent stone before weathering, and the marbles represent the cause of weathering (in this case abrasion). The students shook them in intervals of 25 - 25, 50, 75, 100. Recording the changes to the sugar cube after each 25 shakes. The cubes were broken down into smaller, rounded pieces by the marbles which is what happens in nature. They then compared the differences of the sugar cube before and after weathering.  This hands-on experience is one of many upcoming projects for the middle school science students.
