Enrichment Classes

A student-centered, well-rounded, and highly engaging school makes learning fun and achievement more likely for students. All students at Fuller will engage in 3 weeks per quarter in each of the following enrichment classes.

Physical Education (PE) and Health

Visual Art

Theater and Drama

All Students at Fuller Receive the Following:

Whole Group Instruction

We use a high-quality, rigorous, comprehensive curriculum in all grades. Students benefit from robust teacher planning and collaboration, helping them meet and exceed grade-level expectations.

Small Group Instruction

Teachers provide daily small group instruction to students whose needs are similar. These smaller groups allow teachers to tailor instruction to target specific skills, while allowing the rest of the class to practice previously taught skills.

Personalized Instruction

We use high-quality programs that adapt to students' changing needs. Students work independently on skills at their own pace. Teachers and leaders routinely monitor progress on these online platforms to intervene or push as needed.

SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING

Our school community continues to focus on on Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and Restorative Practices. That means that students receive daily explicit instruction (in both whole and small group settings) on how to understand and manage emotions for personal and group success.

SEL curricular resources include...

Second Step (Grades Pre-K through 8)
Bouncy (Grades Pre-K through 1)
Ripple Effects Kids (Grades 2-5)
Ripple Effects Teens (Grades 6-8)
