To enhance a sense of community and to promote friendships among the children, the Kindergarten, Grade One and Grade Two classrooms, in close proximity to each other have been designated as "cottages." The concept of a cottage at each level mirrors best practice to provide students with a personal identity and a sense of belonging. The team concept will give teachers opportunities for collaboration, collegial scheduling and curriculum sharing. Teachers in Kindergarten and Grade Two selected the names of the cottages referencing authors of children's books by Eric Carle and Jan Brett. The Grade One teachers chose titles of children's books around themes they intend to explore.
