Welcome from the 4th-5th classroom!

We have a lovely spot at the top of the pond and are developing a cozy learning space among the trees. The wide range of topics we will be studying this year has been exciting for me to prepare. We will be hearing, drawing, and writing about Norse Mythology, and the mythology of ancient cultures - India, Persia, Egypt, and Greece. These studies will be enhanced with the history of each area, including some the important inventions and innovations that lead to the growth of civilizations. We will also explore the wonders of plants with two blocks of Botany!

In the second semester, we will be learning all about North America - the rivers, the mountain ranges, the indigenous peoples, the climate, the resources, and, finally, the political regions of Mexico, Canada, and The United States. In math, we will be continuing our study of long multiplication, long division, and fractions; and we will begin the journey into understanding decimals. All of the above will be woven in along with music, drawing, painting, and creative writing.

How could this not be a great year?
