Your child is taking a further step towards independence. They are gaining a new awareness of themselves. When they were younger, they were more connected to you and their environment; now, they look at their environment and you with a more critical eye! This can feel upsetting if you don't remember that it is all part of their developmental path toward independence!! So take a deep breath, and smile!
This year the study of Local Geography will help them gain confidence as they develop a sense of where they are geographically in the world and gain skills to navigate from A to B. The Norse Myths offer wonderful tales displaying a broad spectrum of human characteristics your child will relate to. New challenges in report writing and fractions will satisfy their urge for independence.

MONTH 2: The Wonder of Norse Mythology
The Norse Gods are mortal. They each represent one of the human character traits. With a mix of humour, honour and mischief, these myths bring to life for us the wonder of the human spectrum of experience and emotion. These myths form the basis for a language and arts learning block.
MONTH 3: The Wonder of Fractions
From one come all! This simple adage forms the basis for the first block of the fraction lesson. The aim is to play with fractions through crafts, movement, games and cooking to bring them to life and grasp this concept.
MONTH 4: The Wonder of Poetry
Your child will learn a variety of poetic styles through personal writing activities. In addition, they will make poetry gifts and cards can for the holiday season.
MONTH 5: The Wonder of the Zoology
The first science block begins with zoology. A study of the animal kingdom begins with an observation of the human being and then creates a meaningful connection to various animal species. Information in this unit is inspired by Charles Kovacs' book, The Human Being and the Animal World.
MONTH 6: The Wonder of Fractions 2
The second fraction block delves into the understanding of equivalent fractions and how to find common denominators. A variety of games and activities help to illuminate this process.

The information in this unit is inspired by Charles Kovacs' book, The Human Being and the Animal World.
