Let’s have a GREAT year with one another.

great things can be achieved!

Incredible Success
Requires a Dynamic Approach to Learning
Sometimes the best approach to learning does not look like how we remember the classroom to be. Today’s students need hands-on practical approaches to problem-solving to help them face real-life situations.
Hands-On Learning
Making a Practical Application of Learning
Looking for opportunities to practice real-life scenarios and “act out” strategies and problem-solving techniques helps students to learn more dynamically. Learning for the 21st century student is a lot different than how we remember it to be (from back in our day). It’s our job to help our children prepare for the future by using practical real-life skills that mimic the workplace by learning from each other. Independent skills in addition to the ability to collaborate as team players is essential in today’s classroom!

What else are students saying about Mr. Knutson’s classroom?
When I first entered Mr. Knutson’s classroom, it felt like a library! I loved doing robotics. Mr. Knutson always gave me and my classmates a chance to explore. Being in Mr. Knutson’s class made me more social and collaborative. By the end of the year I felt that my intelligence had grown.
Mr.Knutson was one of the best teachers I ever had. He always treated us like a special class. I wish I could have him again next year. I wish I could be a person like him when I grow up. He’s the most supportive and helpful teacher ever!
I love Mr. Knutson. He loves LEGO! In class, we do fun math and art too! Mr. Knutson always pays good attention to whatever his students tell him. He turns boring subjects into amazing ones! I will miss not being in Mr. Knutson’s class next year.
