This year’s theme is called, “It’s Elemental,” as we will learn about the four elements of nature - Air, Water, Fire and Earth. Within these four simple elements there is so much we can explore!

With Air, we will investigate the weather, including cloud formations, what air is made up of, the properties of air, and how important healthy air is to all of us here on planet Earth.

With Water, we will learn about what elements make up water, how the water cycle works, how it can make power for things to work, and how important clean water is to us all.

With Fire, we will explore why fire is even here on our planet, its importance in our lives and the lives of many living things that actually need it to live. We will also explore things like lightning, the properties of fire, and how to use it correctly so it assists us in our lives instead of destroying us.

With Earth, there are endless things to learn about, but we will focus more on plant life, mainly trees, which give us the oxygen we need to breathe, food for us to eat, shelter for us to live in, and how they help to store the important element of carbon in our world.

Finally, our younger classes will investigate certain elements within the Periodic Table of Elements, tying it all together with what we have learned throughout the year. Our older classes will go into more depth with the Periodic Table of Elements and learn more about the parts of atoms and how they bond, what they weigh, how they act, and even stretch their minds with talking a little about the quantum theory!

No matter the subject, there’s always a way to bring it down to any child’s level - we have faith in our students and in their ability to process information - it just takes a little teacher magic to help them see each concept clearly while having fun during the learning process as well.
