Welcome to C-pod! Welcome to C-pod! The fifth and sixth grade teachers work together to provide a collaborative learning environment for our students by rotating students with their classmates all day to five different teachers for the academic content areas of math, science, social studies, reading, and writing.

We find that by working together, we are able to provide more in-depth experiences in all of the academic classes. Additionally, by working with students in a specific content area for two years, we will be able to get to know your child’s academic needs and work to maximize his or her learning potential over a longer period of time. This schedule also allows students to have longer blocks of time for math and literacy to help support students as they grow in these critically important areas.

We know that during these upper elementary years, personal and social growth can be just as important. By working with students for two years, we will be able to build relationships with our students and maintain those connections with them as we loop together to the next grade. Because the students will be transitioning from class to class with their homerooms, they will still have classmates to share a common experience with throughout the day. Students will get together with their homeroom teachers throughout the day to help them as they develop responsible independent behaviors that will lead to even greater success. To ensure that students are able to build friendships with students from other homerooms, team building events and activities will be built in throughout the school year to promote a positive social environment as well.

Our goal remains to provide the best learning environment possible for our students, providing them with opportunities to grow academically as well as socially. This model will not only provide us with an opportunity to provide a safe and supportive setting to facilitate and celebrate this growth, but it will also provide your children with the support they need to transition successfully to a middle school concept.

Welcome to our team!
