    T.E.A.M. time
    We know that no two children are alike in the way they learn and grow. Teachers do wonders by teaching to individual learning styles. We have taken the idea of individualized instruction to a new level. Beginning the second week of October all educators and all 1st - 5th grade students will have TEAM time. As we know, together everyone does achieve more. Classes are designed to meet the academic needs of students in language arts. Students will be with their teams for 30 minutes a day. Most classes will have small class sizes and many will be mixed grades.
