Welcome to the second half of the school year. As we move forward, students will continue to cover the American History curriculum, and we are moving into looking at the American Revolution and the steps to create our nation. As we do this, there will be many projects student participate in, including a contract assignment where they choose from a variety of tasks to gear their own learning.
We are beginning the Saturday School Enrichment Program, that will allow students to building on their classroom lessons in an interactive fashion. For Social Studies, we will be looking at Rochester's History, along with topics such as everyday heroes, pirates, creating your own government, and life during different periods. These are designed to allow students more creative control over their learning, and to work on projects and activities related to instruction and student interest. Registration forms are available from their STAR Cluster teachers. Call us or email a request and we can sent it home or attach it for you.
