Early Elementary is a time in a student’s life when they are moving from their first experiences in school, socially, emotionally and academically, to becoming more independent and responsible for their own learning. We accomplish this by using an integrated thematic approach; this includes science, environmental studies, social studies, math, and language. Individual needs in reading and math are also targeted.
