    Orca Pod is a two year program made up of Mrs. Ahre's first grade and Mrs. Rubin's second grade classes.  It is a two year program in which Mrs. Ahre's First Graders move on to Mrs. Rubin's Second Grade Class.  Throughout the school year they participate in a variety of multiage activities, with students building relationships with both teachers.  Orca Pod builds stability, a sense of community, emotional support, consistent expectations and curriculum.  Orca Pod nurtures each child's growth and development, and fosters a lifelong love of learning.

  Orcas live in small pods of 6-40 whales.  They are very social animals.  The bonds between the close-knit members of Orca pods are strong and last for life.  The members of a pod work together in a complex manner and share the results of their hunt.  The pod members protect the young, the sick, and the injured.
