Computers are another tool available to the students and their teachers. Weekly, children visit our technology lab for instruction. They also may utilize these computers during open lab time if deemed appropriate by their teachers. New computers are scheduled to be added to each of our classrooms beginning in January, 2001. Having five or six classroom computers should facilitate the integration of technology into our curriculum.
Homework is given by teachers to reinforce classroom work.
It is due the next day unless otherwise indicated by the teacher. Students who return homework late can receive a reduced grade for that activity. Art, vocal music, and physical education classes are taught by special instructors. All students participate in these classes weekly. In addition, instrumental music is available to students in grades 5 and 6.
