Trackers Earth Micro-School Lower Elementary

Lower Elementary (grades K-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
