Curriculum

In all of our elementary classrooms we use the following curriculum:

  • Reading – Lucy Calkins Units of Study – Readers Workshop
  • Writing – Lucy Calkins Writers Workshop
  • Math – Math Expressions
  • Science – Foss/Delta
  • Social Studies – History/Social Studies Alive!
  • Social/Emotional – Second Steps/Steps to Respect

Instructional Practices

In all of our elementary classrooms, regardless of grade level and/or content, we teach using the workshop model:

Through a workshop model approach our students are able to have more time on task.  This ensures that they are getting enough support and practice time.

Elementary Daily Schedule

All of our elementary classrooms begin their day with free breakfast in the classroom, where they eat together, as a “family.”  After breakfast and school wide announcements are complete, we begin our daily morning meeting. Responsive Classroom Morning Meeting is an engaging way to start each day, building a strong sense of community, and setting children up for success socially and academically.

Kindergarten – 4th Grade Elementary Classrooms

The homeroom teacher is responsible for all academic content (reading, writing, math, science, social studies). Our students visit one of our six specials classes each day (PE, Wellness, Art, Music, Spanish, and Technology).

5th Grade Elementary Classrooms

The teachers specialize in subject areas.  In 5th grade, we have a reading/writing teacher, science/social studies teacher, and a math teacher.  Our students spend around 70 minutes with each of these teachers.  In addition, they also attend one specials class each day (PE, Wellness, Art, Music, Spanish, and Technology).

Enrichment

Another unique highlight of our K-5 classrooms is the 60 minute Enrichment class. As a result, the students catch up on content they may have gaps in, or expand their skills/knowledge in areas to ensure that all students are learning and growing each and every day. Our students may not be with their grade level/homeroom teacher at this time.  Instead they will be with a teacher and group of students who are receiving “just right” instruction for their individual needs.
