영재 및 재능 4-6학년 홈룸

Welcome to a dynamic, interactive homeroom designed for curious and motivated learners aged 9-12! This class will ignite your child’s love of learning through critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration.

Students will develop key skills in problem-solving, teamwork, self-directed learning, and creative expression. Each session explores interdisciplinary topics designed to stretch their thinking and inspire their passions.

Over the course of this homeroom, students will delve into:

-STEM challenges and real-world problem-solving
-Philosophy and ethics discussions (e.g., “What makes a good leader?”)
-Creative writing and storytelling
-Environmental awareness and advocacy
-Cultural studies and global traditions
-Collaborative projects, like class magazines or group stories
-Students will also have the opportunity to work on personal passion projects, showcasing their unique talents and interests.

This class meets twice weekly on Monday and Thursday, creating a perfect cadence for a homeschool or online school schedule.  Day 1 focuses on exploring new topics through activities, group discussions, and mini-lessons.Day 2 provides opportunities for students to 
 share their work, reflect, and connect through games, peer presentations, or collaborative projects.

Each session is interactive and designed to engage learners with:

-Live discussions that encourage critical thinking and active participation
-Collaborative activities in breakout rooms for teamwork and problem-solving
-Creative challenges and hands-on exploration
-Digital tools, such as polls, trivia games, or shared digital workspaces

This class emphasizes interaction. Students will collaborate in small groups for activities and problem-solving. Regular discussions and Q&A sessions encourage participation.
Each student will have time to present and receive feedback on their work. Reflection activities and games create a fun and engaging community.

My teaching style is highly interactive, student-centered, and supportive. I strive to cultivate a classroom where every student feels heard and valued. Sessions are designed to balance structure with flexibility, allowing students to explore their interests while staying engaged with planned activities.
