Elementary School Academics
Our elementary grades have classrooms where curiosity and enthusiasm are encouraged and supported. Guided by expert, dedicated teachers, students learn to explore the world around them through social studies, reading, writing, mathematics, science and the arts. Students come to know themselves as learners who develop confidence in their abilities to collaborate, think critically, and act with integrity as citizens within their communities.
We believe that every child deserves to be in a healthy, safe, engaging, supportive, and challenging environment. This is done by providing hands-on, cooperative play and thoughtfully designed activities that stimulate the mind and provide socialization opportunities. Children are encouraged to ask questions, make connections to the world around them, and be a part of the learning process.
Curriculum Overview
Kindergarten
Kindergarten is a place of curiosity where children gain confidence in themselves as they experience new challenges and independence. The classroom environment focuses on the social and emotional development of a child as they bridge the gap between preschool and elementary school.

I am a graduate of California State University Long Beach where I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Studies with a concentration in Language and Literacy. I continued my education at CSULB and completed my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential through the College of Education. I am a member of Pi Lambda Theta, which is the National Honor Society for Teachers.
In my spare time my husband Robert, my daughter Riley, and I enjoy traveling, visiting our family and friends, and are active members in our community.
Our Academic Program
Phonics
Kindergarten students learn phonemic awareness through a multitude of modalities and instruction is differentiated according to the child’s needs. Children are immersed in literature through read aloud, poetry, music, and students are provided the scaffolding necessary to build a lifetime love of language.
Math
In math, our program encourages the use of varied models, manipulatives, and drawings to help explore and refine math understanding. Students are encouraged to show and explain their reasoning through both talk and writing connections to real-world situations. We stress the importance of going beyond memorizing content to help our students to think like mathematicians and do the work of mathematics.
Language Arts
The reading and writing workshop programs encourage children to become avid and skilled readers, writers, and inquirers. Students are given opportunities to talk and write in response to texts which help provide concrete, visible ways for them to do the thinking work that later becomes internalized.
Science
Kindergarten science allows students to begin to explore and discover what science is and what it means to be a scientist. They start making predictions, recognizing patterns & habits while focusing on life, earth, and physical science topics based off of NGSS standards. In life science, they learn about animal and plant needs, habitats, and changing environments. In earth science children focus on patterns in the weather and how to predict and prepare for storms. In physical science, students learn about forces, pushes, and pulls. Students do weekly STEM activities to reinforce curriculum topics and help develop their problem-solving skills by using deductive reasoning.
Curricular Enrichment
Daily schedules include the incorporation of Physical Education, Music, Visual and Performing Arts, Science Lab, Coding, Spanish, and Character Development.
Field Trips

First Grade
We provide a healthy, safe, engaging, supportive, and academically challenging environment for our first graders by providing hands-on, cooperative play and thoughtfully designed activities that stimulate the mind and provide socialization opportunities. Children are encouraged to ask questions, make connections to the world around them, and be a part of the learning process.
First grade is a time when students solidify early literacy skills and we see reading and writing grow in leaps and bounds. Students start by writing about their own experiences in our narrative unit and then progress to writing a nonfiction chapter book about a topic they are an expert in. First grade writing also explores fictional writing as students gain more skills and confidence in their writing abilities. Students improve their writing by learning to revisit writing to make it the best it can be via revision and editing. First grade readers build upon skills introduced in kindergarten and work on building good reading habits. Improved comprehension and fluency develop into a newly acquired ability to read for enjoyment. In Math, students learn to work with higher numbers, delve into word problems, solidify relationships between operations, and work toward increasing fluency with both addition and subtraction problems. We explore our own communities, state, and country today and examine how people of varied heritages contribute to each of those. We use that knowledge to make connections to people living around the world and to people who’ve lived before us; noticing that we have some things in common with many other places and times, and many things unique to our place in time. In science we use our investigative skills to examine light and sound waves via through hands on experimentation.
Meet Mrs. Lorenz
Amber grew up in the South Bay and graduated from UCLA with a B.A. in Political Science then later attended CSULB to receive her Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. She has three children who all attend PHS and when asked what she likes best about the school, she shared, “I love that while all students are embraced as members of the PHS community at large, they are all also valued as individuals. Teachers and staff see and highlight the strengths and positive qualities in each student. I also love the small class sizes which truly allow for differentiation where teachers can meet students where they are and help them grow over the course of the school year.”
What she enjoys most about being a teacher is building personal connections with her students. She shares, “When children come in excited to share about their weekend, family event, or soccer game, and they know you as a teacher will be excited to hear, I know I have succeeded in making my students feel that sense of community, connection, and belonging in my classroom. Watching the students grow is equally rewarding. When they try something hard and succeed, that sense of pride and accomplishment is so fun to watch, especially if it is something that you know was a particular challenge for them.” Some of Amber’s favorite things to do include gardening, reading, and spending time on the beach with her family.

Meet Mrs. Kim
After graduating from the University of California, Riverside with a bachelor's degree in 2006, I came across a teacher’s assistant position for an LAUSD school in Los Angeles and decided to go for it. The moment the children walked into the classroom and I sat on the floor with them for the morning meeting, I felt at peace. Before the end of the day, I knew that I wanted to become a teacher. After a few more years of working as a teacher’s assistant, I attended Loyola Marymount University and graduated in 2013 with my teaching credential and a Masters in Education. I worked as a third grade teacher from 2013-2020 and I’ve been teaching fourth grade since 2020. I want to be a positive force in children’s lives–someone who leaves a lasting impression and motivates them to become better learners and individuals. To me, nothing beats getting to know the students and their interests, or seeing the excitement and curiosity on a student’s face when they understand a new concept.
I live in Los Angeles with my husband, two kids, and dog. I love traveling, hiking, camping, and just spending time outdoors in general. Some of my favorite memories and best stories are from exploring different hiking trails. For example, a surprise proposal while hiking in New Zealand or when I got the worst sunburn of my life while hiking in Haleakalā National Park. Each time I visit someplace new, I like to collect enamel pins or a Christmas ornament.

Reading Workshop
Reading Workshop helps fourth graders become skilled, avid, life-long readers. The curriculum provides students with ownership of choice alongside instruction of genre, strategy, and response to literature. Fourth graders are given extended amounts of time to read “just right” books and are partnered to foster genuine discussions about literature. Over the course of the year, students read many books and learn the skills and strategies to help them become successful readers. Teachers conference with students throughout the year and support or challenge students on an individual basis. With the use of mentor texts, fourth graders learn about character development, research clubs, and read historical fiction novels.
Writing Workshop
Fourth graders find their voice and dive into the craft of writing through Writing Workshop. Through the workshop model, students have choice and ownership of their writing, gain stamina, learn writing strategies and skills, and use writing as a tool for learning and communication. Students have daily opportunities to collaborate with peers and conferences with the teachers occur frequently. The year is divided into the Narrative, Realistic Fiction, Persuasive Essay, and Literary Essay units. Students learn about the qualities of good writing and strategies to draw upon during each stage of the writing process.
Word Study
Fourth graders alternate between the Words Their Way and the Wordly Wise programs throughout the year.
With the Words Their Way program, students look closely at words to discover the regularities and conventions of English orthography and spelling. Fourth graders develop a general knowledge of English spelling and learn how to examine words through active exploration using a hands-on, manipulative approach. Students also discover generalizations about spelling, instead of just spelling rules. Fourth graders learn the regularities, patterns, and conventions of English orthography needed to read and to spell. In addition, the Words Their Way program increases students’ specific knowledge of words. Specific knowledge relates to the spelling and meaning of individual words.
Through the Wordly Wise program, fourth graders will improve their vocabulary by furthering their understanding of new words and concepts. Fourth graders receive direct instruction of word meanings and engage in discussions about words and word parts.
Vocabulary is also naturally derived from the curriculum. At the beginning of each unit or new subject area, students are introduced to content-related vocabulary words to help them gain a deeper understanding of the curriculum.
Core Literature
Class novels and non-fiction books will tie in with fourth grade’s social studies units and be used to create a shared reading experience. Through core literature, students will focus on story elements, literary genres, and vocabulary. Comprehension skills and strategies are explicitly taught and reinforced throughout the year.
Math
Differentiated instruction through the use of manipulatives, visuals, modeling, and problem-solving opportunities ensure each fourth grader meets his/her individual mastery level. Fourth graders deepen their understanding of number sense and mathematical reasoning through the Eureka Math program, Sunshine Math, and other teacher-selected resources to provide students with a rich, mathematical experience. Throughout the year, fourth graders’ math brains get a workout as they build on their multiplication and division skills, expand their knowledge of fractions and decimals, and continue to problem-solve using critical thinking.
Science
Fourth grade science allows students to synthesize and build upon previous knowledge through experiments that hypothesize, analyze, and interpret concepts and data based off of the NGSS standards. They study the Earth and differentiate igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks and how landforms change over time due to weathering and erosion. Students examine the useful applications of electricity and magnetism and their related effects. They dive into the human body and examine how the muscles, skeleton, eyes, and brain work. Social studies are incorporated in cross-curricular studies of California history, early explorers, and indigenous peoples. Students additionally participate in weekly STEM activities to reinforce curriculum topics and help develop their problem-solving skills by using deductive reasoning.
Social Studies
Fourth grade is a fascinating exploration of California and its rich history. Students analyze the geography of California and its natural resources. They study the indigenous people who have lived here for centuries, the missions, and how the Gold Rush impacted California’s statehood. Fourth graders become fully immersed in California’s history through hands-on projects and simulations. In addition, our California Regions unit is enhanced with a three-day class trip to Yosemite National Park where students will learn about the national park’s history, flora and fauna, and the native people in the area. Each unit of study takes on a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice lens as fourth graders explore California’s history from varying perspectives.

Fifth Grade
Teaching is an absolute passion of mine and I am always so excited to teach fifth grade each year. The fifth grade experience at Peninsula Heritage School is quite unique. From actually dissecting fish and animal hearts in Science Lab to reenacting the American Revolution on the stage of our local theater, teaching, and in turn learning, is approached through a hands-on philosophy. Knott’s Berry Farm becomes a physics playground, as Newton’s Laws of Motion are experienced first-hand as roller coasters whip students up and around through gravitational pull. Classroom quilts, with squares created by each student, commemorate the many different curricular units enjoyed during the year. These exciting and divergent activities make the students’ fifth grade year at PHS a memorable one for years to come.
Meet Mrs. Lynn
Even after more than 25 years of teaching elementary school, I still can’t wait for the school year to begin. I attended Pepperdine and Cal State Long Beach for my undergraduate and teaching credential classes. I came to Peninsula Heritage School in 1996 with 10 years of elementary school teaching experience already under my belt. I have taught 5th grade at PHS for many, many years. I love to travel and have circumnavigated the globe on a boat. I have three wonderfully talented , grown children. I love to quilt, read, garden and hike. My greatest satisfaction comes from getting to know each student, discovering their strengths, and aiming their collective efforts toward success.
