This week was another great one down C-hall at Town Center. Please see below for the awesome learning that happened this week and important announcements!
In Reading, learners reviewed their knowledge on various forms of figurative language. More specifically, we discussed similes, metaphors, and idioms and applied our understandings. Moreover, we started our discussion on poetry. Learners explored the technical parts of poetry, such as lines and stanza, and then they practiced reading poems. We learned that poems require to be read more than once to really dig deep into the unique interpretations of various poems.
In Math, learners were exposed to graphs and tables. Learners explored frequency tables, stem and leaf plots, dot plots. They collected data and determined what type of graph to use. Moreover, learners answered multiple step questions that were related to data collection and application. For data collection, learners are implementing an airplane challenge for authentic and hands on learning experiences.
In Science, learners dived deeper into the different forms of energy. Learners researched different forms of energy using learning ports. Moreover, learners applied their knowledge with a scavenger hunt. In the scavenger hunt, learners identified different forms of energy around the classroom.
