(Tips and Tidbits):
Children are naturally curious about the world around them. Parents and family can nurture this interest in science by creating a positive and safe environment at home for exploration and discovery.
Acknowledge and encourage your children’s interests and natural abilities in science, and help them further develop their interests and abilities over time.
Encourage your children to observe, ask questions, experiment, tinker, and seek their own understandings of natural and human-made phenomena.
Foster children’s creative and critical thinking, problem solving, and resourcefulness through authentic tasks such as cooking, doing household chores, gardening, repairing a bike or other household object, planning a trip, and other everyday activities. Actively engage with your children during mealtime discussions or group games requiring mental or physical skills, or by talking about books they are reading or television programs about science they have watched.
Provide frequent opportunities for science learning at home and in the community through outdoor play; participation in summer programs; or trips to parks, museums, zoos, nature centers, and other interesting science-rich sites in the community.
Provide your children easy access to science learning resources such as books, educational toys and games, videos/DVDs, and online or computer-based resources.
Join your children in learning new things about science and technology. Take advantage of not knowing all the answers to your children’s questions, and embrace opportunities to learn science together.
6. EXACT Path: Students are encouraged to log into EXACT Path daily while at home. They have a dedicated time during the school day to work on their learning paths. However, we do encourage students to continue practicing their "Leveled" skills in their "Reading and Math" learning pathways. Students are recognized bi-weekly for their mastery progress and usage minutes.
