Language Arts/Social Studies:
This week we learned about the three branches of government in Social Studies, The students were able to test out their knowledge on icivics.org with interactive learning games and simulations. We also started our new book clubs this week. The students had a chance to choose a book club to participate in with other students, and today they met together with their group. We heard so many great questions and discussions!
Math/Science:
This week in Math and Science we have been wrapping up our Solar Powered Car Engineering Design Challenge. The learners got a chance to display all of their hard work from last week in a presentation of their choice that included their research, pictures and videos of their solar cars, and the results of their tests! Ask your learner about their presentation! We are looking forward to starting our Life Science unit next week. As a reminder the Science STAAR test will be May 11.
