Buoyancy, boat-building, turkeys, and fairy gardens! Oh my! From STEM experiments in the kiddie pool to building a secret society in the back yard, this November has been busy, creative, and filled with hands-on fun.

This ‘Spooky Season’ (October 2022) was filled with hands-on STEM (buoyancy labs, DIY lava lamps, & cookie dunking!), arts/crafts, and Halloween-themed learning! We also took our ‘fieldtrip’ to Costa Rica & learned about different cultures.

Note From Marisa:

Hi & welcome to the Parents Homepage! I am beyond thrilled to offer this opportunity for our small group of students! My teaching philosophy is rooted in an individualized, constructivist approach where each student can access the material at his/her own level and is able to build meaningful connections between learning and other areas of life… while having FUN! In this small group, my goal is to help students have opportunities for individualized learning, positive socialization, and personalized strategies to help them grow uniquely and purposefully. As we navigate this post-pandemic climate, I am committed to helping each student succeed.

Thank you for trusting me with your child!
