Language Arts/Social Studies:
In Language Arts, we started a new Junior Great Book Story. In The Time of the Drums is a Gullah Folktale. Learners discussed ways characters show strength. We also had our second week of book clubs. Finally, in Social Studies we studied the Bill of Rights. Learners presented a tableau of one of the first ten amendments.
Math/Science:
This week in Math we began budgeting and planning a dream vacation! The students are choosing a destination as well as planning out the cost to get there and back, hotel stay, and activities to do. In Science we are using flipped and blended learning to study our Life Science unit. The learners are completing activities using resources such as Discovery Education, Study Jams, Schoology, and many others.
