A Day in the Life in our Microschool
Sort of School believes in a well-rounded approach to education that includes both academic skills and plenty of time to cultivate creativity and social skills.
The Morning
​
Our day begins with a group meeting where we set goals for the day and work together to create a supportive learning environment. We are a place of belonging and a place where everyone works hard to achieve their goals. Every day we will do things that challenge us and help us to grow. Throughout the core skills time, students have opportunities for one-on-one and small group work to build their academic skills.
We also prioritize plenty of playtime and breaks throughout the day to ensure our students are thriving both intellectually and emotionally.
​
Mid-day
We will spend time outside to play and to eat. Kids will have the time to relax or exercise and play games together. This time will often be connected with a PE-type-class of some sort whether led by students or guides. What is done during this time will change according to student choice and season.
​
Afternoon
​
The afternoon will typically begin with a Socratic discussion led by students. This is an essential time when students will improve their discussion skills as they discuss various topics together. Students will make up their minds and change their minds only to make up their minds on the other side of an issue.
​
After this discussion, students will have time to take a deep dive into the subject for that unit. This will look differently every six weeks or so. They may take an in-depth look into the biology of creatures in the sea. They may challenge themselves with programming robots to pick up items and maneuver them in a specific way. They may learn interviewing skills ending with publishing a story about a senior in the Tooele Transcript Bulletin. (This list could go on forever.)
​
At the day's end, students will come together and recognize effort and successes.
