Differentiated Learning Activities

In all activities students are asked to do their best and then try to do better. If a score is involved individually or with a group, the students are asked to get a score and then try to beat that score. In all activities the students are asked to perform at their best level. Challenges are given at every level for all students to be able to succeed at their highest level. Our philosophy at Wildwood School is:

“ If you do your best, you are a winner”!

* This Piece of the curriculum is the same in all the units and will not be repeated in each unit.

Ethical Decision Making/Character Education

At the elementary school level we introduce the concept of making good choices and bad choices and learning the difference between right and wrong. We encourage the students to make the right choice and lead by example. This learning process is intertwined throughout the curriculum and in every lesson. It is an essential part of learning and a process in developing sportsmanship.
