Foundations to Challenge
This week in science, your students will learn about the five major circles of latitude. As a family, try drawing a simple globe with these five lines in approximately the right places. Paying attention to the placement of these lines allows older students to begin drawing the continents in their proper position on the globe. Challenge A students will practice this skill all year as they learn to draw and label the whole world.
In math next week, we will teach students to chant the commutative law for addition and multiplication. Don’t worry if they don’t understand this right now. Later, as they enter the dialectic stage of math in Challenge A and Challenge B, they will begin to apply the commutative law to numbers and then to equations. This memory work ensures that they don’t have to memorize the laws at the same time they are being asked to apply them. If you want to do a simple illustration with your students, show them that you can add two red crayons to two blue crayons or two blue crayons to two red. Either way, you have four crayons—the commutative law in action!
