A Day in the Life of a Bold Student

8:00

Bold Start

Bold teachers welcome students with a handshake as they arrive for breakfast and morning work in their classrooms. As students prepare for the day, they calmly begin assignments and center their focus for the day.

8:30

Phonics

Phonics is crucial for students as they learn how to read, helping them to develop their understanding of letter sounds and patterns, and building the foundational skills they’ll need for reading in middle school, high school, college, and beyond.

9:20

Math Workshop

Students learn new content in Math Workshop, with an emphasis on exploring the ways in which they can apply their new knowledge to real world contexts.

10:20

Small Group Reading

Students work in small groups of five to seven with a teacher every day on reading lessons fine-tuned to their reading level. These daily lessons help students achieve rapid growth in their reading and comprehension skills.

Recess and Lunch

We are proud to provide healthy breakfast, lunch, and snack for all Bold students at no cost to families! Our menu reflects the varied cultures represented in Bold’s community, with options for many different dietary restrictions and allergies. Students burn off some energy and play with their friends during recess.

12:15

Humanities

Bold’s Humanities curriculum emphasizes building knowledge about people, culture, and history as students practice their reading and writing skills. From American history to great works of art, students are interpreting texts, developing their critical thinking skills, and communicating ideas in their own words!

1:15

Snack

A quick break for snack helps students to focus and re-energize before diving into the afternoon’s work!

1:25

Math Problem Solving

Students have time to work in small groups with a teacher to review concepts they need to practice. This extra practice helps all students to build a strong foundation in math concepts and math fluency.

1:50

Science

Hands-on labs and experiments develop students’ curiosity for the world around them. Students build their knowledge while learning foundational elements of the scientific method.

2:35

Talent

Students build skills and explore their passions in our talent blocks each day. Throughout the year, students will work withour Chess, Sports, Dance, and Art Teachers to build durable, transferable skills and lifelong passions!

3:20

Leadership Lab

Students end the day reflecting on their progress, setting goals for the next day, and completing any work they didn’t have a chance to finish earlier. Depending on their grade level, students might have a class meeting to strengthen their community, or work on socio-emotional lessons to learn more about how we can support and care for ourselves and the people around us.

4:00

Dismissal & After-school Clubs

After an amazing day of learning and growing, students are ready to be picked up or take the school bus home. Some students stay for afterschool clubs, such as our Flag Football, Soccer, or Chess clubs, to continue to practice their skills and build lifelong habits of excellence.
