The Vashon Green School is a place-based multi-age learning community located on 7 acres of farm and woodlands, on Vashon’s Westside. We offer a hands-on, hearts-on embodied curriculum rooted in practices that promote social intelligence and connection to the natural world. Our curriculum seeks to provide children with tools and support for living a full, balanced and creative life by giving equal value to each of the four windows of knowing: feeling, imagining, sensing and thinking. Mentors honor each child’s unique gifts and learning styles, supported by our small mentor-student ratio. VGS children, mentors and families journey together to create a learning community rooted in compassion, connection and gratitude.

Arch of Life

Dana Schuerholz

Here is an illustration of an arc with the keystone at the highest point, a key element of the structure. We have talked about salmon as a keystone species and this is one way to illustrate the concept. Draw the arc, using your entire page, and make a silhouette of a salmon first, at the top. Continue one by one side to side down to the forests and soil blocks of the “arc of life.” Lightly color everything in after all your writing is completed, making sure the words and drawings are visible.
