CATERPILLARS

This is the introductory level class section - typically for grades 1-3 based on MA state standards in Earth and Life sciences, math, and STEM course work.  Topics will vary and there are no required assessments or prerequisites. Classes are stand alone lessons; if you miss one you will not “fall behind”. I do reference vocabulary and events from prior lessons, but I strive to include/engage all students!  I will review and reiterate information, or reframe details based on learning needs.

 

Please note that this is NOT a drop off activity – guardians are on site for the duration of class. ‘Stroller and/or backpack siblings’ are welcome as long as not posing a distraction to the group, but will not be involved with activities and lessons.

​

Students will be given a journal for the duration of the session and are expected to bring this each time as well as a writing utensil. We will be learning to document, observe, record and share data with our collaborator-students.  Focus will be on making scientific observations with our 5 senses and detective work/question formation.
