Our program will provide daily opportunities for students to connect with peers and adults, deepen grade-level math and literacy skills, engage in physical activity, and learn more about Boston. Students will begin the day with community-building circles, within their classrooms. This will give students the opportunity to build trust with and a better understanding of those around them The academic day will then begin, where students will engage in an hour of math and an hour of literacy instruction. Throughout the day, students will enhance their gross motor skills, coordination, and peer connections during physical education. Finally, students will engage in social students/history, as they learn about Boston. They will engage in direct instruction, as well as independent research about our city's geography, history, sports, and historical sites. Students will explore the city by taking trips to historical and popular locations in the city and within our school’s neighborhood community.
