Tricky Tuesday Cohort

Our Tricky Tuesday learning experiences are designed to help students to tackle new challenges, set goals and learn to embrace failure as a learning opportunity.

This cohort is not meant to be overwhelming, but to help students enjoy learning and challenging themselves. Much of this cohort will be a work at your own pace style class. You and your student will determine what areas to focus on during Tricky Tuesdays. We have a number of resources available to help your student engage in learning about math, history, science or the stock market. One of the skills they will work on is communicating what they are learning via SeeSaw. Each student will receive their own Fun Schooling journal to assist them in learning this fall. You will be able to choose which journal works best for your student.

Throughout the semester students will work to create a presentation for our final Tricky Tuesday (December 13th). Each student will chose a holiday tradition to research and discover the history of where the tradition originated. They will put together a presentation to share with the group all they learn about this holiday tradition at our Christmas Traditions Fair.

The learning objectives we have for this cohort:

Will vary depending on what your student chooses to study.

Executive Management Skills~ Planning what needs to be done and managing time.

General~ Goal setting skills. Learning to anticipate and to try again when goals are not met. Developing the skill of asking good questions.

Social~ Listening skills, engaging with other students during Zoom classes.

Public Speaking/presentation skills

Completion of a specific number of pages in their fun schooling journal, the number depends on the age of student.
