Welcome to Special Delivery: Fun Facts & Puzzles! In this 12-week course, students will embark on a journey through a new topic each Month! Week 1 = January (Amazing Animals) Week 2 = February (Famous Historical Figures) …and so on. Here’s how the course works: 1. Students will explore subjects like space, natural wonders, and unsolved mysteries, with each topic matching the month's theme. This allows for a steady and exciting flow of learning throughout the year. 2. Engaging Monthly Presentations Each month students will get new presentations that dive deep into the topic for that month. These presentations will include visuals, videos, and stories to help students understand and get excited about the subject of the month. 3. Fun Handouts for Interactive Learning Students will also receive handouts each month packed with activities and additional information that expands on the topic of that week/month. These handouts will keep learning hands-on and engaging beyond the presentation. 4. Learning at a Fun, Relaxed Pace Students can enjoy learning without feeling rushed. This monthly pace allows them to fully dive into each topic and get excited for what’s coming next. They will have fun while solving the riddles and exploring new subjects each month.
