At SK, collaboration is a vital component to the learning process.  Teachers plan and implement a good portion of our curriculum with others in mind.  Community sources include visiting local shops and businesses, taking field trips, and inviting guest speakers.   A great wealth of rich resources, however, are found right here at school!  

Kindergartners in particular have numerous opportunities to glean from other classrooms  and share our ideas and activities with them.  Here are a few:


K Buddies with Mrs. Carpenter- Kindergartners, 1st, and 2nd graders listen to stories read by the children; assist in assembling a worm bin; and eat the "fruit" of their pasta sauce making labor!
"Karl Buddies" investigate just  how Kindergartners play in order to better understand our needs while designing our playground for us! 
Joanna, our Head of School, is our partner in thought and  in deed!!!
Mr. B's 3rd/ 4th graders  are on hand to share Farm themed stories and to design Kindergartner friendly Math games!
Chris' 3rd/4th grade class sprawls out with Ks for some great partner reading time!
Our "E Buddies" (Elaine's Class) participates with our Yoga Class and shares their  amazing collection of dress- up clothes and building materials!
