In this sixth issue of the Report on Teaching and Learning, we describe our accomplishments and plans for our school. We hope this report gives you a better picture of what students are experiencing and accomplishing in our school. If you have specific questions about your child's performance or this report, please contact the school. We welcome and support the natural excitement and curiosity children have about learning. We respect and acknowledge different learning styles.
Instruction begins as soon as the children enter the school.
Most classes begin the day with a 90-minute block for literacy instruction and a math problem of the day. Classroom meetings are also an important part of morning activities. Some classes visit the Science Center, while others may have Art, Instrumental Music or Library. Most classes integrate all subjects into a particular theme which results in activities that include writing, literature, mathematics and social studies. We have lunch in teams of primary grades and upper elementary grades with recess as part of our lunchtime.
