Bulletin Boards

In every classroom, we have bulletin boards that are rich in information for our students. Each board includes what they have learned and are used as resources by our students.

STEP Up to Writing and other writing resources

Classroom Libraries

Over the years we have built classroom libraries full of books of all genres.  All the books are sorted by level, favorite authors, series, titles, or subjects to make it easy for the students to find what they are interested in. Every week our students look forward to finding new books while book shopping and always find books they enjoy!
