Northeast Elementary

A+ attitude brings about change
In creating a viable learning environment for our students, we at Northeast Elementary are creating a nine month pilot program in which we are teaching our students to become productive members of society through learning, application and service. We will accomplish this by creating a three tier approach
The first tier is education:
We at Northeast Elementary in our goal to provide the best education will seek funding to purchase supplemental materials such as children books, teacher resources and resources to create a school learning library. The second tier is application:
Through activities such as a communal vegetable and flower garden, books made by sixth graders for Pre-K and Kindergarten students, a grade level Big Read, essays, reader responses and more, we will allow the student to develop critical thinking skills. Therefore, we are reaching beyond the surface level of simply teaching the standardized test but instead the essential skills needed to not only succeed on a test but in our daily lives. How will this be accomplished? • A communal vegetable and flower garden
i.e. Students will learn the process of photosynthesis, crop rotation, the life cycle and agriculture. Students will apply their knowledge in maintain and keeping their garden in which they will not only have to grow the plants but cultivate, harvest and prepare the plants for consumption. This teaches the child about not only basic agriculture but community planning and healthy living. The food cooked by the students from the garden will be shared amongst family to promote healthy living.
