Oral and written language as well as artistic forms of expression will be utilized to record information. Questions raised will be the basis for research in the classroom and library. Throughout our exploration of changes, literature, appropriate to the content and conceptual framework of the theme, will be read to support understanding and encourage the use of language and literary development. Music and drama activities will offer students opportunities to share understanding about stories and information gathered through research. Each experience is designed to foster an appreciation of literature and the fine arts.
Families can invaluably aid our work at school.
We hope you and your child will take time to look at and reflect upon the natural and constructed environments close to your home. We welcome collections from home and special areas of interest. Your child's interests and contributions will help give direction to the theme and shape the experiences offered at school. We hope that our school experiences will offer your family shared opportunities for learning as well as heightened sensitivity to the world around you. Experiences will help the boys understand the similarities between family communities and the larger city in which they reside.
