ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
CURRICULUM
(Grades 2 and 3)
 The
curriculum is not limited to the
basics. It includes all school-directed
activities (i.e. work assignments,
field trips, etc.) Development of
the "whole" child is encouraged.
Activities are included that allow
children to learn in their preferred
learning styles: linguistic, logical-mathematical,
spatial, musical, kinesthetic, interpersonal,
and intrapersonal. New ways of learning,
including interaction and involvement
of all the senses, are explored
through a balance of self-directed
and teacher-directed activities.
