There comes a time during each student’s day to connect with another teacher or two when they attend their Specialist area classes. Byron Primary School offers unique opportunities for students to explore and grow in subject areas outside of the core instructional subjects: reading, math, science and social studies.
Students in grades one and two attend six different specialist classes on a rotating basis. This includes time spent in Physical Education with Mr. Fischenich, Music with Mrs. Krueger, Art with Mrs. Smithers, Media with Mrs. Pankratz, Fitness with Ms. Hoffman and Innovations with Mrs. Graham. Students are given the opportunities to learn about healthy living and balancing passions as they cycle through these collaborative learning experiences.
Kindergarten students connect with one other teacher who teaches five special areas. Mrs. Krings and Mrs. Pompeii teach Music, Art, Media, Physical Education and Friendship Class to the nine Kindergarten classes including Begindergarten. Kindergarten students are provided exposure and practice to passion based learning.
Knowing that our student age groups have their own unique needs, we have been able to offer a balanced approach to helping kids discover their interests as well as creating opportunities for students to become inspired and inspire others with their many talents. We are proud of the creative learning opportunities that our Specialist Teachers bring to the lives of our youngest learners each and every day!
