C & S Farm School is the result of our desire to share our love of the land and learning. The goal of the farm school is to serve children and families in our community. In a world where we hear “…that’s how it is.” or “…that’s life.” -we choose not to accept the status quo. Instead, we will teach children through hands on activities provided on our farm, gardens, animals, greenhouse and special guests. Grade level standards will be taught and mastered with individualized instruction meeting children at their entry point in all subjects. We will utilize student curiosity every day. C & S Farm school will provide a rich, well rounded academic environment using a variety of techniques and curriculum, while also implementing real life practical learning with an emphasis on character building in addition to traditional academic learning. This farm school experience will provide children with a unique experience where they will love learning and gain skills to grow and confidence to succeed.
My name is Shelena Claypool Butt. I have been in education for over twenty years. I hold a current Tennessee teaching license and Administrator license. I have a Master’s Degree with a few additional certifications. I love children and it is my hope to provide education in a setting that steps back and slows down. C & S Farm School is a rural one room school house. I want our farm school to educate children in a small setting where the love of learning and life skills are an everyday occurrence. Academics will be taught right alongside hands on life skills you would typically encounter on a farm…garden, greenhouse, animals of all kinds and a love of nature and the land. A variety of curriculum will be implemented. We will keep to the one room small setting and cap enrollment at 15 students. Children will learn and grow without knowing they are learning.
