Don't be afraid of learning!

Schools can be somewhat lonely places over summer. Furniture is moved out of the way and hallways are empty - but not so at GSP!
We are fortunate to have summer camps all summer long! I have seen many familiar and new faces over the last few weeks. Children were making room decorations, learning about the wizardly worlds and playing sports - and practicing their German language skills at the same time.
There is a great deal of learning going on throughout the building! Summer campers are engaged in German language activities and acquire new skills, but each and everyone of us is deeply engaged in learning this summer, too. For some of us this means learning about RenWeb, our new information system, for others it is an online workshop about the primary years IB program. We are all working hard to get ready for an exciting new school year.
We are a learning community and we continue to learn to prepare the best we can. In order to do so we need to be willing to grow and sometimes even step out of our comfort zone.
The following interview with Carol Dweck, the author of Mindset ( a book that I can highly recommend) serves as a good reminder.

We all feel very privileged that you trust us with your children.
Happy learning!
