Our science learning is on Tuesdays and Thursday from 11:30 am – 12:30 pm.We will utilize Generation Genius as a curriculum to shape our learning experiences. While this will serve as a resource, much of our science curriculum will be customized to align with the monthly learning theme. For instance, our novel study for August will focus on a hearing child born to deaf parents. In science for the month of August, we will delve into topics such as sound energy, the anatomy of the ear, and how the brain processes this sensory input. Generation Genius will offer valuable resources but the concepts we explore will be presented in a context that is meaningful and authentic.
Our science learning is on Tuesdays and Thursday from 9:30 am – 10:30 pm.
