    Prior to COVID-19:

    When students were on campus, they participated in science experiments, math activities and a global project based learning activity.  Students learned digital storytelling to "tell their stories," in content across the curriculum. Writing skills are taught through integration of all subjects. There is a focus on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) education in my classes. Students in grades 3-5 are met with their teacher in zoom twice a week.  Parents and students in grade K-2 met weekly with their teacher.  Students in grades K-5 use Edgenuity as their learning platform.
