DEEP DIVES
Compositive Primary offers an extended-year calendar with programming during short breaks between our inquiries. In addition, we offer programming for children during our shortened summer break. These programs are designed to deepen our students’ inquiries through investigation and play. Here are a few of the Deep Dives we are offering this year.
Fall Deep Dive
Commotion in the Ocean
Register for one or two weeks
Join us for an adventure of joyful inquiry under the sea. Building on our growing understandings of self and community, we will collaboratively create a world of fantastical creatures in a habitat of our own making. Through a playful investigation, we will uncover a number of problems threatening our sea creature community and will band together to develop solutions. Each week culminates with a sharing on Friday afternoon where students invite family members and friends to experience their inquiry and learning.
Spring Deep Dive
Compositive Postal Service
Register for one or two weeks
Jump deeper into our inquiries investigating communication and history as we create our very own mail system. We’ll begin by unpacking the history of mail in the West through stories and images. Then, we’ll grow into making our own system that will send students, teachers, family members, and friends images, letters, and packages within our building. Everyone will have a role in our new mail room! Each week culminates with a sharing on Friday afternoon where students invite family members and friends to experience their inquiry and learning.
