Upper Elementary Full Day Program

Class Description

Our upper elementary level class is geared toward grades 3 - 5. Due to high demand, the same class runs Tuesday and Thursday. Week to week, both classes do the same activities. 

Cooking Around the World 

Upper Elementary social studies full-day

We will learn about world cultures through cooking, geography and art. Some class time will be devoted to maps, geography puzzles, picture books, and independent group projects on a country or culture. Throughout the year, students will have the opportunity to practice public speaking skills by presenting their projects to the group. 

Each morning starts with Brain Gym exercises to focus our brains and bodies for learning, sharing, and getting along.

Our days and weeks together provide endless opportunities to practice being kind, patient, and respectful with our words and actions. We also work on the safe and appropriate use of kitchen tools and classroom supplies.

Skills and abilities that will help your child have success in our busy classroom environment include: basic reading and writing, emotional self-regulation and the willingness to participate in group activities.
