Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
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 - 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)
