Science
- I have planned some very fun and interactive science experiments this year to integrate with our concepts! this year our science lessons will include plants and animal ecosystems and some other basic aspects of environmental science, our solar system, nutriton and basic bodily science and how we can keep ourselves fit and healthy.
Language Arts

We will be focusing our sentence structure, punctuation, spelling , use of nouns and verbs and finally putting all of these concepts together to craft our own narrative stories starting with creating word webs and idea mapping.

Community Activism/ Emotional Inclusion
- This part of the curriculum is all about awareness both emotional and environmetnal. We will be learning how to get active in our communities and the benefits of volunteering our time and kindness, and the good it does for our environment and ourelves. Emotional growth and acknowledging the feelings of other and treating each other how we would like to be treated will also be paramount in additon to building our character and being upstanding citizens in all situations.
All parents can help in fostering active learning through reviewing homework with your children and I encourage reading at least 3 small books with them every week and reviewing homework together. More tips for promoting learning outside of the classroom provided by PTA organization are located here and here.
