Classroom Observations

Step into the Lower Elementary classroom and observe children in the midst of their work. At this age, children are increasingly drawn to big ideas, collaboration, problem-solving, and understanding how the world works. You may see children working independently, exchanging ideas with classmates, receiving a lesson, or pursuing work that has grown from an earlier presentation.

Parent observations are 15 minutes and take place from an observer chair within the classroom. We invite you to notice not only what the children are learning, but how they organize themselves, work with others, make choices, and take increasing responsibility for their learning.

Please select an available time below. When you arrive, we’ll provide a few simple guidelines to help you get the most from your observation.
