Trackers Earth Micro-School

Lower Elementary (grades 1-2) build the foundations of learning. Students benefit from powerful hands-on activities and concrete experiences. They begin to develop a deeper understanding of the world around them. Our outdoor curriculum builds upon this enthusiasm by providing a diverse and profound educational environment in the outdoors.

Lower Elementary grades develop:

A deepening knowledge of local plants and their practical uses
Ability to identify less common mammal tracks in our region
Ability to identify common local birds by sight and sound
The ability to work independently on a project for progressively longer periods of time
Familiarity with age-appropriate texts and reading materials
Ability to compose short stories and journal entries with increasingly complex sentance structure, spelling, and grammar
