Fieldwork Placement

I currently student-teach 6-8th grade Humanities at Lagunitas Community School.

Our Humanities class is a combined English Language Arts & Social Studies class.

Lagunitas Community School is a public TK–8 school in the San Geronimo Valley that embraces a true “community school” philosophy, where students, families, educators, and local partners learn and grow together. Its whole-child approach emphasizes academic, social, and emotional growth while fostering strong relationships, real-world learning, and a deep sense of belonging.

It is a very special place, and I will forever be deeply grateful for my amazing mentor-teacher, Katherine Sanford.

Every day, our students begin class with a "Word of the Day" and "Today in History."
This invites conversation and critical thinking.

6th Grade Humanities

Sixth-grade students are studying early World History through the analysis of The Odyssey, Epic of Gilgamesh, and comparative world religions. They work together to study ancient civilizations.

8th Grade Humanities

Eighth-grade students are studying US History. We are focusing on the history and structure of the US government, thoroughly studying the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. We are closely examining the Civil Rights movement, which culminates in the spring with a week-long field trip to Alabama.
