Here are some of the things we will be focusing on in Term 2:
💡 Critical Thinking lessons will focus on Media Literacy, primarily reading “Can You Believe It” and “Breaking The News”.
🇺🇸 For Citizenship we will continue to learn about the Supreme Court and Presidency, and to “explore” DC. But we will also make space to work through the Lonely Planet Kids “You Rule” book, “creating” our own countries.
👻 Our Tales this term will be a study of the work of Edgar Allan Poe primarily reading the graphic compilation “Poe: Stories and Poems” and completing activities in the Lesson Set Bundle from Mint and Bloom.
🧮 Our Group Math will focus primarily on beginning Delighting in Math Volume 1.
📝 Group Language Lessons will continue to be a loop of several things, but with a continued focus on analyzing and constructing poetry.
We will also continue our overview of Literary Genres with a deep dive into horror subgenres to pair with our study of Poe.
🌎 For Climatology we will keep focusing on Climate Change but will give a lot of space this term to reading Old Enough to Save the Planet and doing the corresponding lessons from Mint and Bloom.
🦊 Zoology Lessons will focus on Mammals following a term spent on invertebrates….
🌳 and Ecology will focus on the forest Biome and an overview of the Types of Consumers in the animal kingdom…
🦏 and our Special Studies this term will be a repeat of Delighting in Animals: Endangered and Extinct, which is a favorite.
🌽 Food Science will continue to take us on a journey through America’s Food Industry and connected nutritional concepts, adding in the Britannica book.
⏳ For American History we will spend the first half of the term focused on The Salem Witch Trials.
🧠 For Psychology we will continue slowly through Delighting in Creation: Psychology Vol 1, learning about mood disorders and mental health care. We will also focus this term on sleep with “Sleep: A Kid’s Guide to the Science of Slumber”.
👦🏼👦🏼 I will share in stories a couple of things that each boy will focus on individually this term.
