EARLY ELEMENTARY LEVELS
Kindergarten - 4th
Meets on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays
8:45am-2:45pm
In a spirit of describing the nature of our students, we give names to our class levels:
Kindergarteners are Discoverers
1st & 2nd Graders are Explorers
3rd & 4th Graders are Adventurers
In Early Elementary Years, the educational experience at DaySpring is dynamic alive, and relevant. It exposes students to rich literature, a variety of writing styles, an overview of historical events and science concepts. Our curriculum and book choices help build curiosity about the world around them and teachers provide many hands-on activities that engage young bodies and minds.
Parents should expect to direct and work side by side at home with their child. The "at-home" work on Mondays and Wednesdays will require parents to read to children, interpret directions, engage in hands-on activities, guide them in writing assignments, help them do research....Parents should expect to spend about 4 hours per day on school depending on the attention span of their student.
All the students in these levels do Academics on Tuesdays and Thursdays in their regular classroom with their teacher and peers. On Fridays students come to do their chosen specialty classes. Each student will be given a list of specialty classes and they get to choose 4 to take for the year.
This model gives students a well rounded education. They get classroom time to learn with others, individual time at home with parents, and a full day (Friday) to explore their own choices for enriching classes.
