Welcome to Mrs.Kawamura's Classroom!
Welcome to the 5/6 Discovery Classroom! The Discovery Program is a self-contained, center based, magnet program for highly gifted learners located regionally at three elementary school sites in Douglas County. The program is intended for those students who require intensity of instruction and acceleration beyond what can reasonably be expected from the regular school gifted programming.
Supply List for 23-24 School Year
Our classroom is a peanut and tree nut free zone!
Snacks in the Classroom
Students may enjoy a snack in the classroom, but please make sure it is a healthy snack. Check out this article for some great snack ideas. Cupcakes, donuts, cookies, brownies, candy, etc. will not be permitted in the classroom during snack time. We do have a few life-threatening allergies to peanuts and tree nuts. It is imperative that peanuts and tree nuts do not enter the classroom. Students should bring a full water bottle to school (only water is permitted in the classroom during the school day).
