Math – Jimmy and Kiera

This month in math, we’ve been working on division, and geometry.  Essentially, math has been a fun but not easy part of our work cycle.  Math has mainly composed of division, but not 100%. As far as math goes it has recently been a very fun part of our work cycle.

 History and Science – Grant and Lushen

For history, we have continued working on our radio days projects. In science, we have started projects on renewable energy. Subjects include wind, solar, hydro, as well as, energy conservation and efficiency.  We are also learning about fossil fuels, nuclear power, and climate change.  Speaker Mark Haim visited WSMS to talk about the dangers of fossil fuels and the potential of renewable energy for a more sustainable future.  His message was optimistic but he said we need to take immediate action in order to keep the earth healthy.

Language – Ben and Jacob

A large part of the language curriculum has been dedicated to the radio days project. Although most of the focus in the project is on history and science, many assignments sharpen writing and reading skills.
