FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What curriculum will we be using? 

We will be using Florida state standards as a guide to create project-based learning opportunities. We will be doing themed unit studies each week and weaving that theme into writing, art, science, engineering, cooperative learning, culinary, history, Florida wildlife and habitats, practical math and whatever else we may dream up! 

Is your program a drop-in program? 

No, we are not a drop-in program.

What will the kids be learning about? 

Our weekly themes have not been set in stone, but some of our ideas include: 

Measurement, area, and perimeter 

Florida wildlife, habitats, history, Native Americans, conservation, community, branches of government, ecosystems 

World cultures 

Geography and fun with maps 

The Mayflower journey 

Ocean life 

All things space 

Rainbows 

Winter Solstice 

Insects and spiders 

Culinary Arts (math and recipes, history of American food culture, history of chocolate, recipe book making, menu planning, shopping and budgeting, learning about culture through food, food production, imports/exports of food, impact of agriculture on environments, etc.) 

We are bursting with ideas, and extremely excited to take a deep dive into topics with the kids! We will be flexible in our themes as to address our group’s interests in order to provide a great experience for the learners.
