Our projector helps bring science to life with videos of dissections and chemical reactions for “up close” exploration!
Social Studies
In the Stewart Home and School Social Studies program, your goal is to enrich your everyday life by giving you the tools to join the conversation instead of just being an audience member. By studying social studies, you’ll learn to help plan family vacations, contribute to discussions about current events, and recognize settings or subjects in movies, making them more enjoyable.
Through readings, videos, virtual tours, games, and hands-on activities, you’ll explore history, geography, world cultures, notable figures, government, and economics. This program allows you to delve into the diverse human experience, building knowledge and thinking skills that benefit all areas of your life.
Reading
In Reading, you’ll dive into both nonfiction and fiction passages that spark your interest. Each passage comes with follow-up questions to sharpen your comprehension skills. You’ll explore a wide range of topics, from animals and biographies to classic fairy tales and current events. During special seasons, you will enjoy poetry, sonnets, and theatrical plays by Shakespeare.
On Fridays, you can participate in self-guided, silent reading, choosing any book from our classroom collection—whether it’s a beginner level or an advanced chapter book. It’s a wonderful time to immerse yourself in reading at your own pace, and we love hearing about the excitement you find in them!
