Happy weekend!

The rain hasn't quelled the excitement and fun in 5G. Today we turned our artistic explorations to the Group of Seven, and reimagined our national autumn landscape with the help of some Lawren Harris models and colourful paint. Grade 5 is responsible for the foyer art work next month, and these beauties will certainly be worthy of display!

Some pretty heavy homework for the weekend:
  • Be kind to others, especially those for whom it is difficult for you to extend kindness to (siblings, perhaps?)
  • Be grateful for three things in your life (our Giving-Thanks circle this week produced some beautiful sentiments of gratitude - 5G kids sure are thankful for their loving families, caring friends and our free country!)
  • Spend time being creative - writing, art, thinking - it doesn't matter! Push yourself to see the world around you through a different lens in some way, and enjoy the process of creating!

Happy weekend!

Love stretches your heart and makes you big inside.

Ta for the weekend sentiments and thoughts. It's a rainy Sunday here in Qingdao, China, Danesh's other hometown. A brief dance with autumn to precede an east coast winter.
