Curriculum Updates:
THEME:
This month, students will wrap up their feature magazine articles. As you know, these have been a year long labor of love. Students chose their brain topics and began researching all the way back in September. We are so excited to share our writing with you soon!
MATH:
Students will finish the math units they chose a few months ago. If your son/daughter chose to participate in Competition, he/she will be taking the test in the next week. Fractions and Geometry kids will wrap up their units the same week the Competition kids take their test.
TOPIC STUDY:
Students have all written their own scoring guides for their final projects and are now busy creating projects that convey their learning.
SCIENCE:
In the next few weeks, students (or pairs of students) will conduct the brain experiments they designed on their own. They will then wrap up the year with a reflection on their learning and growth as scientists this year.
PGD:
Students will take a look back at the year and reflect on what they've learned about themselves. Topics include:
- Optimist vs. Pessimist
- Introvert vs. Extrovert
- Left brain vs. Right Brain
- Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic
- Grit and Perseverance
- Smart Goals
Donations:
- We would love more colored model magic for upcoming projects!
