What does this look like week to week?

We meet on Tuesdays, typically the 1st-4th Tuesdays of the month.

Class Days 

Class Days are typically the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays at Mill City Church in Northeast Minneapolis from 10am-1:30pm.

For Students:

Our Class Days will focus on collaborative learning and community building within age groups.  The exact structure of the day is still being determined. The current plan is that there will be a nursery, preschool, and kindergarten. For students older than kindergarten, we will be dividing the classes based on numbers in registration. In general, our goal is to have everyone take three classes that rotate between a gym class, a homeroom class (working on collaborative and group skills), and an elective class (changing each semester). Students will eat a bag lunch from home together at the end of the day (whether this will be in classes or as a large group is still being determined).

For Parents/Guardians: 

Each parent/guardian will be assigned two class periods to assist teachers. If a parent is teaching one class, they will assist for one other class period. The third hour is for parents to use a separate parent meeting space to socialize with and support each other. 

Nature Days

Nature Days are typically the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays at Springbrook Nature Center in Fridley (potentially with some exceptions). These sessions will start with a short lesson on an aspect of nature or survival followed by outdoor unstructured play. We meet in any weather that is not considered unsafe. Through Nature Days, children not only build knowledge of their environment, but also increase physical activity, build confidence, develop creativity, and learn resilience.
