Kindergarten - 1st Grade

It can feel overwhelming to be the youngest group in a school full of big kids. Building off of the Purposeful People curriculum, we will navigate what it means to learn in a school community, building skills like listening, focusing, and building relationships with adults and peers.

SEL "Choice Time" will be embedded in every class. Students will choose from a variety of self-care strategies such as yoga, meditation, art, sensory activities, and more. This time will encourage students to build a "toolkit" of strategies to care for themselves inside and outside of school.
