time
We know that no two children are alike in the way they learn
and grow. Teachers do wonders by teaching to individual learning
styles. We have taken the idea of individualized instruction
to a new level. Beginning the second week of October all educators
and all 1st - 5th grade students will have TEAM time. As we know,
together everyone does achieve more. Classes are designed to
meet the academic needs of students in language arts. Students
will be with their teams for 30 minutes a day. Most classes will
have small class sizes and many will be mixed grades.
Leadership
Class
Leadership is a group of 4 th and 5 th grade students who are
chosen by our students to represent our students. Under the skillful
advisement of Sandy Lane, the Student Council meets during their lunch hour to support improvements and enrichments
for our school. They also run
the student store during recess.
