inclusivity influenced curriculum. We aim to educate the whole child: their
mind, body, and heart.
​
During their day the students will spend most of their time with their main
teacher exploring Circle Time/Story Time, Literature, Theatre, Poetry,
Writing, Math, Spelling, Show and Tell, and Art.
**Students will also participate in Qigong Class and Gardening/Nature
Studies classes with those teachers during the day as well.**
​
This year, Ms. Alex, will be using the "Magic Treehouse" book series as the
spine for the classroom lessons. Along with Jack and Annie, our students
will meet and go on adventures with historical figures, learn about current
Holidays, meet all kinds of animals (real and mythical), be introduced to
major literary figures, learn about pioneers of science and medicine, and explore themes of kindness, mindfulness, inclusivity, and love.
Students will be given the opportunity to create artistic depictions of the each week's story
through drawing or painting. During this time, students will also practice writing and spelling.
​
Math instruction will include a story component, as well as focusing on learning about the four processes of math — addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Students will also be introduced to Roman numerals. Math will be very hands-on and include multiple learning techniques and activities.
​
Three to four snack times, and outdoor times, will be included in the day so that students have a natural balance of active play time and time to quietly focus.

Biology - Instructor: Ms. Jen: ​
From the cute animals to the "icky" ones... from "Why do my teeth fall out?" to
"Why are my eyes blue?"... from healthy foods to who-eats-whom... biology is
fascinating to young kids because it's everywhere around them. Using lots of
hands-on activities and real-world motivations, we will cover high-interest topics
in biology and the life sciences.
​
​
Gardening & Nature Studies - Instructor: Ms. Bri:
Students will study a variety of plants, insects, vertebrates, and
invertebrates that are native to Florida. They will learn how our ecosystem
works to support all of the living beings that reside within it. They will be
keeping a natural journal to help further their studies and enhance their
knowledge of the natural world around them.
​​
​​​​​
Qigong Class - Instructor: Ms. Lauren:
This Qigong program offers a holistic and developmentally appropriate approach to physical education by bridging movement with mental and emotional well-being to support the whole child.
​
Rooted in ancient Chinese wellness practices, qigong combines gentle, rhythmic movement, breathwork, and focused awareness to help students build strength, coordination, and internal balance. At the same time, the practices help support the development of self-regulation skills that support learning, emotional stability, and positive social engagement.
​
Classes will be designed to provide students with a lifelong “movement toolkit” of practical techniques they can use independently throughout their day. In today’s overstimulated world, children can benefit greatly from structured movement that teaches them how to manage their internal state.
​
​
Book Club - Instructor: Ms. Dawn:
We will explore the world of literature using the Brave Writer recommended middle school book lists, their Big Juicy Discussion Questions which help the students voice their opinions and perspectives about the works we are reading, and their Tea Time Poetry practice which will introduce students to the joy of poetry. Students will be exposed to a variety of literary works which may include “The Wild Robot”, “Charlotte's Web”, "Dragons in a Bag", "The One and Only Bob", and “Mr. Popper's Penguins”.
Students must read the chapters at home so that in class we can dive into the meaning, character choices, plot movement, and everyday connections the literary works inspire. We will cover a diverse spectrum of authors, content, creativity, classics, and contemporary literature choices. **Mandatory homework of reading or listening to books at home. These books are the only supplies that you will need to provide so that students have the option of their preferred reading method, whether it is by book, audiobook, or a kindle version.**
