Casa 3 social
Thank you to our Casa 3 parents who joined us for our Winter Warm Up Social last week.
Math in Casa – a love blooms
The love of math grows in Casa. From learning to write your numbers in cornmeal, on a chalkboard, and then in your very own number book. From simple addition and subtraction all the way up to “fetching” big numbers for the bank game. Love and complete understanding at its very best!

‘What would you say if I told you that we grow all of the food to feed the world on less than 1/32 of the planet?’ Last week, Junior High teacher Ann presented the “Earth as an Apple” lesson in JH Humanities.
