This year’s school theme is “Cultivating Sustainability (a harmony of cycles)”. In the 1st - 2nd grade class, the theme will be integrated throughout the curriculum, from working towards a cohesive, supportive class culture, to planning, researching, planting and maintaining a garden of medicinal and culinary herbs, to interviewing local merchants prior to making our own Fairfax community model, to working in our Creation Station, where recycled items become treasures, to investigating connections between math and the natural world. We will also continuously explore and celebrate other cultures to encourage the students to remain open to all that is beautiful and instructive and inspiring about people who are different from us. The year will culminate with long-term group projects about the Ocean, the source of all life on the planet, and the transformation of our classroom into an Underwater Coral Reef (made out of recycled materials, of course!).
