Theaters of Learning are special elective classes that are offered several times a year.  Theaters allow students (and teachers!) to investigate a topic with a group sharing similar interests, enriching the curriculum while enhancing basic skill development. The classes allow learners to follow a passion, take a risk or try something new.  Multi-age classes allow learners to make new friends and meet teachers from across the school.

Theaters are held for 30 minutes on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for six consecutive weeks.

Learners and their parents select Theaters from a catalog of as many as thirty classes. The following examples are taken from a Theaters of Learning Catalog offered during a recents Winter Session:

Flight (Grades: 4, 5, & 6)
You will learn about aviation history and the mechanics of flight. Then you will plan a cross-continent air race that develops map-reading and decision-making skills.

Fun with Eric Carle Books (Grades: 1, 2)

Come and enjoy some wonderful Eric Carle books like The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Very Busy Spider, and many more. We will read stories by Eric Carle and do related activities including art, cooking and writing.

Really Fun Miniature Book Making (Grades: 2, 3, & 4)

We will make mini-books like: accordion, chocolate bar, scroll, brad, necklace and stapled books. We will do poetry writing like list poems, Haiku, etc., in our little books. So, if you would like your very own collection of tiny books to read, join this Theater!

School Store (Grades: 4, 5, & 6)
Join a team of 6 students who run the school store. You'll learn the basics of retail sales by ordering supplies, advertising, creating displays, serving customers and keeping records. We're looking for responsible team players, good thinkers and reliable workers. This year's store profits are being used to buy library literature sets and to help the band program..
