Our curriculum!
The SC classes use an adapted curriculum called enCore! There are a total of 36 units, and those units are banded by grade levels. All of our classes have multiple grade levels. Due to this, some classes might use two units simultaneously. For example, a class might use a unit for kindergarten through second and a different unit for grades third through fifth. Each unit consist of an adapted fiction book and an adapted nonfiction book. It takes six weeks to complete one full unit with three weeks per book.

What we learned last week!
In social studies we learned about goods and services.
In math, we worked on using different units of measurement such as gallons, quarts, pints, and cups. Using units of measurement are important life skills that our students will need to be successful when cooking.
Mrs. Bassery's class created Gallon Man!
Ms. Turnbull's class compared units of measurement.
