What each subject looks like
Here is what your child actually does.

Every subject in the weekly agenda has two parts: the plan for class day, and the work done at home any time that fits your week.

EExpositionWriting and grammar+

ON CLASS DAY

  • A grammar focus for the week, like concrete and abstract nouns
  • Learn the keyword outline and practice it with a partner
  • Write from notes, building toward longer pieces

AT HOME

  • Find nouns at home and sort them by the week’s grammar idea
  • Retell the practice outline to a parent using only the key words
LLogicEntrepreneur spotlights+

ON CLASS DAY

  • Meet a real entrepreneur each week, like the German shoemaker who founded Adidas
  • Talk about the problems they solved and what they built

AT HOME

  • Re-read the entrepreneur’s story and write three things worth remembering
  • Find one more fact from another source and note where it came from
DDebateWorld geography and music+

ON CLASS DAY

  • Explore a new world region each week, like Western Europe
  • Meet a composer and learn about the orchestra, like Vivaldi and what a conductor does

AT HOME

  • Research the week’s region and find a favorite fact about each country
SScienceEarth science+

ON CLASS DAY

  • Start the week’s topic, like an introduction to geology: what do we already know?
  • Watch a short video as a class and discuss what was new

AT HOME

  • Watch the week’s video and jot three to five key words
  • Find one more kid-friendly source and write down a fact, with where it came from

Subjects and activities change by week. This is a typical Grammar 3 week. See a full GCE week →
