Central Idea: Collaboration balances communities.

Transdisciplinary Theme: How We Organize Ourselves


Because we are learning about how collaboration balances communities, we invited a special guest to help us learn about how to school makes decisions. Margaret Black, one of the co-founders of Discovery School, came to answer some of our questions. Some of the students’ questions were…

  • Why did this school get started?
  • How do you decided the right solution when there is a problem?
  • How does the board work together?
  • Who are the different groups that make decisions at our school?

We  learned a lot!  Thanks, Mrs. Black!


During math, we frequently use math centers as a way to differentiate instruction.  While some students are working with me, others are practicing different math concepts through games and other independent activities.
