Our fifth grader's teachers have been working incredibly hard to adapt their curricula to a remote learning environment. In ELA/social studies, we've been happy to see that our fifth grader is reading a terrific book (The Watsons Go to Birmingham -- 1963 by Christopher Curtis), answering challenging questions in paragraph form, and learning about figurative language. In math and science, our fifth grader is mastering the fifth grade math curriculum, has done some enrichment work offered by her teacher, and has read several interesting science articles for kids, including about worldwide water shortages. Her art teacher has assigned some fun projects, too -- for example, our fifth grader drew a lifelike chameleon and has jumped in a few times on the teacher's weekly challenge to identify certain famous works of art by title and artist. Her main teachers have recently started weekly Google Meets video meetings, so we're excited to see how that develops. And our daughter is communicating with her classmates and teachers via a chat function. Our fifth grader seems to enjoy the freedom that comes with learning the material and doing the assignments at her own pace, while looking forward to seeing all her teachers and friends again in school, whenever it re-opens. We know this hasn't been an easy process for teachers and parents, and it hasn't been perfect by any means, but we've been pleasantly surprised at how LAMS is adapting to the situation.
