Does your middle school learner typically dislike "school?" Does your learner prefer to learn using games and videos? If you answered yes to either of these questions, then this might be the class you didn't even know you were looking for. :) This inclusive middle school pod will meet 4x each week, once daily Monday - Thursday. This class will give your learner the opportunity to practice social skills while practicing concepts from math, English, geography, and science each week. In this ongoing class, we will follow this schedule: Weekly Schedule: Monday: Geography Tuesday: Math topic Wednesday: English Thursday: Science topic Daily Schedule: ~10 minutes - Welcome/Social Time ~15 minutes - Learning Activity (includes videos and visuals - not just a boring lecture) ~15 minutes - Game Activity (students will have fun - while showing what they've learned - playing a Kahoot or Gimkit game). ~5 minutes - Wrap Up (students will be polled to decide future learning topics during this time) Example topics to be covered: Week 1: Monday - US States (geography) Tuesday - Money (math) Wednesday - Identifying parts of speech (English) Thursday - Weather - the water cycle (science) Week 2: Monday - US States/Capitals (geography) Tuesday - Making Change (math) Wednesday - Identifying parts of speech (English) Thursday - Weather - air masses & weather fronts (science) Week 3: Monday - Landforms (geography) Tuesday - Rounding (math) Wednesday - Identifying complete sentences/fragments (English) Thursday - Weather - Extreme Weather (science) Week 4: Monday - Weathering and Erosion (geography) Tuesday - Units of Measurement (math) Wednesday - Identifying complete sentences/run-on sentences (English) Thursday - Weather - Natural Disasters (science)
