Week 21: Students Become the Teacher

Check out our new Videos Section on the left hand side of this blog underneath the calendar. Over the year, students will make videos presenting a skill they learned in class. This can be a great resource for your child to review and the kids are super excited to participate.  First up is Leigh, who explains how to simplify fractions. Keep an eye out for new videos to come!

Here's what to expect for next week:

  • After two weeks of learning the archetypes of the Fantasy genre, we will begin fantasy book clubs on Monday. 
  • We will have the Unit 6 math test on Equivalent Fractions on Tuesday. Our next unit will continue our fraction work with a focus on adding and subtracting fractions
  • We are going to The Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum on Thursday. We will be back at school by lunchtime.
  • Family Friday will feature a presentation on Slavery in New York by Gideon's grandfather.
Have a great weekend!
