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.

Snake River Coho

Dana Schuerholz

Here is a watercolor by an artist named Eileen Klatt. Over a period of 15 years, she researched and painted 61 species of salmon that were listed as extinct in specific rivers that they had hatched and returned to over thousands of years. If you have watercolors at home you can make a watercolor of these Snake River spawners. Everyone can illustrate them in your main lesson book after listening to the Salomon Woman and her Children story. I suggest doing the illustration in a horizontal format. You may use a double spread if you would like to.
