We finished our science fiction unit the week before winter break - ask your child about the movies paired with the stories we read - some were very similar, and some were very different. The lessons focused on asking questions, and knowing that science fiction is written to warn us of something... What's the cautionary advice from the author?
This first week back was a whirlwind. Ask your child to share his or her genius hour pitch with you - they'll be recording them next week, but they were asked to write the script to it this week. Check this part of our website to see what the pitch is all about. We also were able to squeeze in MAP (survey) testing, and begin our new read-aloud book, Where Children Sleep by James Mollison.
