The Multi age classroom had great success 1st semester investigating the world of Africa, including issues of deforestation. (See previous posts on all the amazing things they did)
2nd semester they will continue to focus on Sub Saharan Africa for another week or two.
Following this, from late February until late March, the classroom will have a short unit on Eastern Europe. it will mainly revolve around present day Poland and Russia. The team plans to organize a day of sampling crafts and games from Eastern Europe.
Eastern Europe Celebration Day will be on Friday, March 22, from 1-2:30 (the day before Spring Break) - mark your calendars!
Following Spring Break, the multi age will move into their final unit for the year on Ancient Asia.
The primary focus will be Ancient China, but they will also touch upon contemporary China and other countries in the region (Japan, India...). There will be another "family project" during this unit, and it will culminate in our second COL and the Ancient Asia Banquet.
If parents have connections for any of these units, feel free to contact me on their behalf to run ideas by the teachers as they plan activities. (The earlier the better for planning.)
Also, if you hear of any upcoming music or art exhibitions/experiences related to Eastern Europe or Asia, please let me know.
