My Project

My students are bright-eyed and bushy-tailed! They are ready to learn and they love being with their class family every day.

We enjoy the pursuit of knowledge of ourselves and the world around us.

Small group time makes a huge difference. It is easier to meet individual needs and concentrate on explicit instruction in small groups. We just need some seating to make it work.

Often times children need to move, and small group time is great for getting around the room and working together in harmony. We love to sit with one another and focus on a good book or a great lesson.
