CHILDREN’S BOOK WEEK: Reading is music to our ears!

This year, CSG’s annual Children’s Book Week was a celebration of all things music, and the campus was transformed to recognize jazz, rap, country, rock, and all manner of music genres. Under leadership from Lower School Librarian Annie Ruefle, the project work is created in great collaboration across disciplines with PE, Computer Science, Art, Science, Music, and within Language Arts. This hallmark of CSG develops the 21st Century skills of critical-thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity. The halls were filled with a variety of projects Lower School students carried out related to musical history and the science of music, and Form V students gave tours to parents and guardians, filling them in on the various musical genres they studied. Highlights of the week included fiction trivia with Forms V and VI and a Reading Festival with activities and projects connected to music.
