What we are learning

Math - Parent tutoring, anyone?! This week we will start our deep dive into quadrilaterals and their attributes, which includes parallelograms, rhombuses, squares, rectangles, and trapezoids. To really blow your mind, we will discuss fascinating, abstract concepts like how rhombuses CAN be squares but aren’t ALWAYS squares, how squares are a special kind of rectangle, how rectangles are also parallelograms and quadrilaterals but not rhombuses, and how trapezoids are only quadrilaterals. Do we think it’s time to dust off the ol’ high school geometry book? Nah, your kiddos have totally got this! We’re gonna keep on keepin’ on!

Science - This upcoming week we finish up exploring a variety of fast land changes: tsunamis, landslides, hurricanes and tornadoes.  We are finding what causes these to occur and the result after.

ELAR - 

This week we will use the Plot Mountain to share what we know about Wild Robot. Each learner will create a final project that displays our understanding of illustrations, captions, and the key elements of plot including exposition (introduction), rising action, climax, falling action and resolution. 

If all goes according to plan, your kids will be Ted Talk keynote speakers….well, kinda! We hope to record our persuasive speeches to share with their appropriate audience.

Social Studies - This week our Geography unit will come to a close. We explore maps and globes, both the physical and digital versions.
