The Foundations class is an introduction to Community, Citizenship, and Civics for our 5th graders. This class meets 2-3 times a week throughout the 2nd semester. Mrs. Andorfer leads the class and Mrs. Ruck helps out. We work together to provide creative ways for the students to learn what it means to be part of a community, as well as what rights and responsibilities of a citizen look like. Another exciting component of this class is our preparation for BizTown - a simulated community field trip where 5th graders experience being an adult for a day (having a job, paying taxes, going shopping…) and connecting it all to Financial Literacy.
