Great Lake FX

Great Lake FX Great Lake FX GREAT LAKE FX is a grass-roots children’s group that was started 21 years ago by Co-teachers, Lin Liedke and Chuck Ruffino.

The goal of Great Lake FX has been to encourage children to explore their natural environment and discover all the beauty found in our local community, as well as learn how to express themselves through art.

We had a great time at Great Lake FX today! Our wonderful Asst Director, Jake Galofaro, created an excellent scavenger hunt that took place down along the banks of Canadaway Creek. Our kids were asked to look for and identify various objects found in nature:
A seed pod; insect; red leaf; clouds that may have the shape of an animal, etc etc.
The kids had a great time discovering and eagerly checked items off their lists as they found them!
Additional thanks to Heather King and Tara Cratsley.

We had a great day at Great Lake FX today! The kids added their backgrounds and colored in their cardinals.
Mr. Ruffino brought his Ellison machine - which really intrigued Mr. Jake btw- and the kids punched out lots of 🩷♥️.

Today Mr. Ruffino led the Great Lake FX kids in a fun lesson drawing cardinals in the style of Charley Harper! Charley Harper was an American artist who loved to draw and paint birds, animals, and insects. He used straight lines, circles, and arcs to make his drawings.

It’s been a great couple of Saturdays at Great Lake FX.
We spent some time at Point Gratiot where the kids participated in a scavenger hunt and explored the shoreline.
This past Saturday we hiked down along Canadaway Creek until we located the Osage orange tree.
The “fruit” from that tree resembles a “brain”.
We are very thankful for the nice weather of the past couple of Saturdays that allowed us to take Great Lake FX “outside”!
