"It must be remembered that the purpose of education is not to fill the 
minds of students with facts - it is to teach them to think - and always to 
think for themselves." - Robert Hutchins

Thinking and writing are at the very core of the fourth grade curriculum at 
The Calverton School. Classroom lessons center around discussion topics in 
which students are encouraged to pose questions for their fellow students as 
well as for their teacher, explain their thoughts and opinions, probe for 
additional information, and seek alternative solutions. Our students are 
expected to be actively involved in their own learning processes. They 
understand that their classroom is a safe and encouraging learning center 
where they gather to reinforce and extend previously learned skills, explore 
and discover new ideas and concepts, and reflect on their own thinking.
