A
6 minute video of the Club G story |
| This
was our first project. The students named it Club G after Ges
("Jess"), my
son. It is a recess and noon-time social group
organized in 2011 by Grade 4 students for their classmate who was
socially isolated, who physically couldn't keep up on the playground,
and who, despite understanding, had no intelligible speech. It
was created for him, but we quickly realized that it wasn't just
about him. It was about everyone involved, what they
learned about themselves, and how it changed us all. Follow this link to the Club G Book Resources on friendship groups like Club G Start Your Own Club G
