On Oct 5, we will have our weather unit test. This year, science will be mainly taught in Chinese, but all science tests, including SAGE, will be in English. Thus, as indicated in Chinese homework, kids are expected to spend at least 5 minutes per day to do the science review in English on our blog. It’s great if your kid has started to do this. If not, please encourage them to start.
Thank you!
