Class Overview:
This class is a space for wonder.
Rather than separating subjects into isolated categories, we will take an integrated, experience-based approach where learning feels connected, meaningful, and alive.
Through stories and poetry, students will build language skills while also developing imagination, listening comprehension, and a love for beautiful words.
Nature and science will be explored through hands-on experiences, observation, and experimentation.
An emphasis will be placed on investigating and research. Students will practice asking thoughtful questions, exploring possible answers, and sharing what they discover.
Math is thoughtfully woven into these experiences, helping children notice patterns and see it as a meaningful and connected part of the world around them.
As students wonder, experiment, and discover, they will naturally build important skills: reading, writing, critical thinking - growing not just in knowledge, but in confidence, creativity, and a love of learning.
Course objectives:
A class that is focused on the joy in learning, experimenting, and in being curious. We will explore stories, poetry, nature, science, research, wondering, investigating, and math that can be combined with some of the other topics. Through all these topics, the following skills will be introduced:
