CRE uses a Project Based Learning approach to create a solid foundation of fundamental and higher order thinking skills through a structured curriculum that is consistent and aligned throughout the grade levels. Project Based Learning (PBL) is a dynamic approach to teaching in which students explore real-world problems and challenges, simultaneously developing cross-curriculum skills while working

in small collaborative groups. Because project-based learning is filled with active and engaged learning, it inspires students to obtain a deeper knowledge of the subjects they're studying. Research also indicates that students are more likely to retain the knowledge gained through this approach far more readily than through traditional textbook-centered learning. Castle Rock Elementary is a school of inquiry with an emphasis on Science. Our students experience learning in our natural backyard habitat. All students have projects and dedicated time to work. collaboratively experiencing a multitude of opportunities to learn in an outdoor classroom. We are partners with Castle Rock Open Space and Trails Department and work together to improve and integrate trail systems. Our habitat is a point of pride at CRE and makes us a truly unique neighborhood school! Castle Rock Elementary School strives to meet the needs of the diverse individuals in our community. We offer ESL and SSN services, Reading Recovery, and Positive Behavior Systems. We have a thriving Student Leadership Program focused on community service. Our dedicated staff offers extra opportunities throughout the year such as Choir, Battle of the Books (2012 District Champions), Spring Musical, Talent Show, 6th grade Hex Competition, and Field Day. Castle Rock Elementary has a very involved parent community. Our PCF (Parent Community Forum) sponsors several annual fundraising events such as the Scholastic Book Fair, Family Fun Night, and our annual Sock Hop. The PCF also sponsors our weekly popcorn Friday fundraiser that the entire school community looks forward to enjoying.
