Upper Elementary Class
Fourth and Fifth Grades
Our upper classroom is our oldest group of students. Our 4th and 5th grade students work both together and independently on our academic classroom activities and extending our understanding of the 7 Dimensions of Human Greatness. We are continuing the path of taking ownership of our learning and learning how to apply it to the community and our place within it. All of our work is grounded in social emotional learning. Our oldest students work closely with each other and with the other classes to help build community and share their knowledge with the younger students both outside in unstructured school times and during class through activities such as buddy reading.
