School Year 2026–27 Β· Week 8

Week 8 Highlights

October 5–9, 2026

Week eight followed curiosity about the living world. Primary explored recycling, decomposition, and ants β€” with early fractions woven into equal sharing; lower elementary opened October units in subtraction, phonics, flag symbolism, and shape painting; upper elementary stretched fractions, similes, and symmetry portraits β€” then the whole school closed with Wizard Academy Field Friday and a hearty chili cook-along.
