Elementary Mornings – Language Focus

This interdisciplinary course will foster students’ creativity, critical thinking, and cultural awareness as they explore literature and social studies then express their understanding through artistic expression and hands-on projects.

The focus area for Spring 2025 is Ancient Greece.

Students will participate in interactive discussions, collaborative activities, and multimedia presentations to deepen their understanding of different aspects of Ancient Greece with some fun and fascinating adventures. Through these activities, students will sharpen their skills in communication, collaboration, and critical thinking.

Join us as we enter the realms of legend and discover what we can learn about the past as well as about our own lives today.

Students should bring a small, nut-free snack (can be eaten in 5-10 minutes) and a water bottle.  All other materials for this class will be supplied!

Students who are staying for afternoon Artistic Adventures should bring a nut-free lunch to eat.  Lunch is supervised.

There may be times where students are given an OPTION to do something at home and bring in found treasures from time between classes, but there is no “homework” that is required for this course/level.

Students MUST be able to participate meaningfully and appropriately in a group setting (taking turns, treating others with respect/kindness, etc.).  Students will spend some time working in small groups and some time working individually.  Our classes are part discussion/explanation to open and then “doing things”.  Sometimes our activities are at a desk and sometimes it means exploring (which can mean being on hands and knees!).
