Our Classroom

	Academic Class Time Academic class time gives students an opportunity to move about the classroom with purpose, using the hands-on materials and centers to develop new skills based on the curriculum and to sharpen learned abilities.
	Social Skills Within our classroom are opportunities to learn new social behaviors as participants of a larger group. The two- to three-year age spread among children allows younger children to find older role models who in turn mentor their younger classmates. Children learn that, regardless of their age, each of them is equally important and receives equal consideration.
	Table Work Students use table work stations for a variety of academic activities. They are lead through new concepts by the teacher that may include vocabulary building, spelling, reading, science, math or art.
	Workbooks Many students enjoy working in their math or phonics workbooks and using shelf works that encourage early reading, writing or math problem-solving skills.
