Focus Week is an annual event where every class in the Lower School, ages 2-10, explores an over-arching theme. 2013′s Focus was on “Transportation” (others have been The Sea, West Africa, Circus, Australia, etc.) Every grade’s subfocus was a little different (e.g., Grade 3 explored Trains and shared what they learned with the whole Lower School), but everyone learns. We have guest speakers (community, parent, teacher), we decorate the Centrum (sunken carpeted assembly area), and have a culminating event. This year’s was a hot air balloon we all got inside.
