Welcome to Wild and Unstructured Learning’s 8th Grade Full Curriculum! We can’t wait to spend the school year with you. We focus on project based and hands on learning. We are committed to providing a safe and fun atmosphere for your child to grow with all of their educational and social needs met. We often team up in groups or work individually with the teacher. In this class you can expect your child to learn 8th Grade concepts in math, reading, writing, grammar, spelling, science, and social studies. We welcome all learners! Wild and Unstructured Learning incorporates play and activity into each lesson. Your child won't be able to wait to come to class. Topics will rotate throughout the year for review and practice. The class will cover fundamental concepts for 8th grade and cover a full and in-depth curriculum over the year. Each week, we will have a spelling list and have rotational lessons in English, Math, Science and Social Studies. There will be homework for extra math, english, and spelling practice each week along with some activities to complete each week. Teachers are available to answer any questions and will give feedback on the homework. Our lessons are always engaging because education is more than just academics, it is also about the social interactions you have while learning. Our classes include interactive discussions and we use games and other hands-on activities to engage every child in their learning. All of our classes are taught in a 100% inclusive and child-led environment. Our teachers are always inclusive of every child and adapt their teaching style to keep high levels of engagement and progression. You can expect for your child to learn the following subjects- Reading, Language/Grammar, Writing, Spelling, PreAlgebra, Life Science, Earth Science, Physical Science, Physics, Chemistry, Economics, Civics and Geography.
