C.O.W.

C.O.W. (Community Open Work)

C.O.W. (Community Open Work) happens every Tuesday from 1:50- 2:40 when the entire Earth School community shares in open work together. Children gather across grade levels in different classrooms to work together around a common interest. Students make independent choices about the work they do ranging from learning to sew, building with blocks to fundraising or writing a play. The community aspect of C.O.W. is what makes it such an anticipated part of the school week.

Students, teachers and parents can run a “C.O.W. club” at this time. For parents, it's a fun way to share their own interests and expertise with the school community, get to know students and offer our children diverse and rich experiences.
