One of the unique characteristics of PEAI is that classes stay together for a year. Not a school year with summer and winter breaks, but a full 365 days with the same peers and teacher. Working intimately with the same cohort breeds classroom culture. During each three hour block, values, beliefs, attitudes, and practices are gradually, collaboratively constructed and start to define each class. By December, though BM1, BM2, BT1, and BT2 are categorically 6th grade classes, each is uniquely its own and full of wonderful idiosyncrasies.

After December 15 and 16, we will no longer be with one another physically. Our culture, however, extends beyond the pink walls of Room 4 and throughout time and space.
