Grade Groupings
At Cobblestone we recognize
that all children develop at different rates and have
different learning styles. This is particularly
important when working with new readers and writers.
Teachers support the learning process by creating a
balanced learning environment that encourages critical
thinking and fosters motivation, anchoring learning in
a meaningful context.
Children
in the Primary Group (ages 4-6, Kindergarten) at
Cobblestone spend much of their time exploring the
natural world around them.
Children in the Upper Primary Group (ages
6-8, grades 1 and 2) learn to embrace reading and
writing as a means of expression.
At the Intermediate level (ages 8-10,
grades 3 and 4), students continue to build on and
acquire new skills in research.
In the
Middle Grades (ages 10-12, grades 5 and 6) students
study more challenging language arts, science, and math
curricula as they hone their critical thinking skills
and prepare to graduate from Cobblestone.
At Cobblestone, a theme approach is
used with the integration of subject areas, skills and
content. The daily schedule for each class reflects how
all these areas are woven together for different levels
of learners.
