4학년 전체 커리큘럼 홈스쿨 학습 포드: 2학기

Come join our full-curriculum learning pod for 4th grade! Learners will have the opportunity to study with the same certified teacher throughout the year, while cultivating relationships with their peers!

Classes will be held Monday-Friday each week with chances for individual help with Miss Sarah before or after each class.

Each week learners will have one homework assignment per subject. The homework will not be due until the following week. For example, math homework that is assigned Monday will be due the following Monday. Homework assignments will be due prior to class. All homework will be turned in through the classroom. Homework assignments should take no longer than 30 minutes per subject, per week. If necessary, Miss Sarah be available for homework help 30 minutes before and after each class.

Each week will include all core subject areas as well as a special area project. Included in the curriculum will be 3 sciences experiments completed throughout the 6 weeks, 2 social studies projects, and writing will be integrated into all subject areas. Learners will be able to participate in group work through the classroom and use of breakout rooms.

**Morning meeting will be held at the beginning of each class period. This will be a 15 minute period where students can share new and exciting things that have happened, play an educational game, and catch up with their classmates!**

**Breakout rooms will be utilized in each class period. Students will learn a new skill, receive instruction, and then complete an activity in small groups. Breakout rooms will be monitored by Miss Sarah. She will switch back and forth between rooms and will also be available in the main session for 1-on-1 help. Students will always be encouraged to request Miss Sarah come into their breakout room, and we can work through problems and solutions together.
