2018-2019

Second Grade

For 2018-2019 our Second Grade class will take our studies further.  Children will take the lessons they have learned about their own group interaction, and take a look outside that small group to wider community.  We will explore other cultures, undertake more complex projects in crafts and construction, making creative use of technology.  We will utilize the resources of New York City and its museums farms and artisanal workshops to understand the new and innovative trends in culture and community.  We will pay attention to our role in the environment and culture and encourage children’s ideas and problem solving strategies for their own problems as well as for small and larger groups.

GOING FORWARD

Our school will add one grade each year, from Kindergarten to Fifth Grade.
