Elementary 1

The Elementary or E1 classrooms (sometimes referred to as lower elementary) include children in grades 1, 2, and 3. Typically there are 7-9 students of each grade in each E1 classroom. Students stay with the same teacher for three years.

If you step into an E1 classroom, you will likely see children engaged in a variety of different activities or works. As a public school, we are guided by all of the MN State content standards. We are different, however, in how we organize our classrooms. Instruction tends to happen in small groups and independent work and practices is differentiated based on students' needs and interests.
