Classroom, Library and Curriculum
|
The Valley of the Moon Children’s Home has a two-classroom school on site. The school is staffed with credentialed teachers and is operated by the Sonoma County Office of Education. Each classroom has a computer area, as well as a separate small library. Children grade kindergarten through age eleven attend classes in one classroom; teens ages twelve through eighteen attend classes in the second classroom. Staff members and dedicated volunteers assist the two teachers and work individually with the students who often need special attention and remedial help.
Volunteers plan special lessons and activities with the children; art, physical education and Book Club are favorite activities. In addition outside consultants are funded to enrich and enhance the school curriculum in areas such as poetry, science and art. Field trips create unique opportunities for the students to explore interests, supplement their learning, and learn about career choices; these experiences motivate the students learning academic skills. Volunteers also teach cooking classes and personal care classes so that the kids and teens will acquire important life skills.
