Elementary Classroom

The Fishbowl

Our class follows a workshop model consisting of literacy, math, science, and social science workshops. During the workshops, students work independently, in small groups, and whole groups. Students build independence, confidence, perseverance, self-advocacy, and social awareness through this model. Students are encouraged to think critically, analytically, and creatively. Opportunities to develop their social awareness and appropriate social boundaries are learned through cooperative play and team-building activities. The adult-to-child ratio is high and can fully support the whole child academically, emotionally, and behaviorally.
