  • What do snakes eat?

    When they discovered a snake hibernaculum right outside their classroom, primary students wanted to know more. After several weeks of study and research, they discovered that snakes like to eat a lot of different things. They also learned what different snakes look like, how they move, and where they live. Students were so proud of their hard work they wanted to share their slithering knowledge with others. So together, they created a book. Now they call themselves “herpetologists”—a scientific word for people who study snakes.

  • Library

    It is rare that an elementary school of any size has a library, at least not one with 20,000 volumes. Each week, all classes visit the library and the teacher-librarian. Younger children look forward to story time, while older students use the resources for in-depth study and independent reading.

  • Arts

    Art is integrated into every area of instruction. Children work with a variety of materials and media while learning skills and techniques. Teachers foster artistic expression and creativity across the curriculum.

  • Choice Time

    Weaving, perusing maps, constructing bird houses or joining friends from other classes to paint or play a game are some of the ways children can begin the school day. Choice Time offers opportunities to explore, create, connect, experiment and develop special interests.
