Raven's Wood
|
Each session, we choose a new and relevant overarching theme. Our thematic programs connect to all content areas, including literacy, writing, science, history, and mathematics. We choose themes with literal and metaphorical meanings, concrete and abstract, and we have well-planned lessons. The kids direct us with interests in choices, and their teaching and learning is always honored. A few of our overarching themes include: Webs, It's All About the Food, Circles, Elements, Design and Function, Stories, Colors, Senses, Balance, Patterns, Growth, Time, and Roots. From these ideas, we create lessons that make direct connections to kids' past learning, academic curricula, and to life itself.
