100th day of school

This week we are celebrating the 100th day of school. 100 days of learning and growing here at GSP! But learning is not limited to our students here at GSP.
A famous Chinese proverb says:

“Learning is like rowing upstream; not to advance is to drop back"

In that sense we as teachers are taking Feb 15 to hone our skills. In the morning, grade school teachers will continue their work on our curricula, which focuses on Sachkunde (social studies and science) and we will learn together about applications of a competency based curriculum while preschool and kindergarten teachers will participate in a workshop with focus on early childhood development. In the afternoon we will all work together on our communication and writing skills.
I personally can say that I learn something here every day. I learn from our teaching team how to be a better teacher, I learn from our students by seeing the world through their eyes and I learn from you as parents through our ongoing conversations.
Let's make sure we all learn something new every day!
