One of the big plusses at Bay Haven School of Basics Plus is differentiated instruction and flexible grouping at each grade level. Here at Bay Haven, students who need extra help have the opportunity to work in smaller groups to improve their basic skills. Those students who have been identified for remediation receive targeted skill instruction. All students are taught the same curriculum and take the same tests as their peers.

Creative Drama is
an improvisational process-centered form of theatre, in which participants
are guided by a leader to imagine, enact, and reflect. The process
is designed for the experience of the participants, not performance
for an audience. Through this process participants gain knowledge,
skills, and personal growth, while reflecting upon what it means to
be human. The focus of this program is to equip the elementary classroom teacher to effectively use creative drama to achieve curricular goals in language arts, social studies and other core curricular areas. |

Music classes are taught using a unique approach through the combination of the Orff-Schulwerk process and creative drama. The Orff process of listening, singing, playing instruments, creating movements and creating music allows students to learn by active participation using poetry, riddles, picture books and scenes from chapter books. Creative drama, an improvisational process in which participants are guided to imagine, enact and reflect in the classroom setting, is used to hook students into a lesson so they are actively engaged by using the tools and skills of the actor. Students learn to concentrate and focus by thinking about the job to be completed; they use imagination to create characters and dialogue; and they use cooperation to develop scenes and scripts to set to music. |
