Level 3 Classes

10-11:30, US History: Using America, The Story of US as the spine for this class, students will learn all about key events in the history of the United States from its foundational ideas to the challenges and triumphs that have shaped our nation. This project-based class will bring the past to life through hands-on activities, engaging research, and collaborative investigations. Instead of just memorizing dates, students will delve into the "why" and "how" of historical events, developing critical thinking skills and a deeper understanding of our shared heritage. A core focus will be understanding the bedrock documents of our nation: the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution. Weekly reading will be assigned to complete at home.

In this fun-filled, interactive class, explore the magical and mysterious creatures, plants, and phenomena that thrive in our world. Through hands-on activities like drawing, storytelling, and projects, students will discover bizarre animals with strange abilities (like the axolotl, which can grow back its limbs!) learn about fossils that shine like gold, and many more wild and wonderful things about our most amazing world!
