I am looking forward to sharing an incredible curriculum with your child. This year students will be focusing on our year-long theme of Systems. In the fall, they will investigate interactions in systems by following the evidence trail from a crime scene to a courthouse. Students will participate in forensic science labs and visit the Richland County Courthouse. In the spring, we will look at environmental systems where students will take on the role of environmental detectives studying the impact of changing factors in an ecosystem. A gifted mathematical curriculum, “Digging for Data: The Search in Research” (M3-Mentoring Mathematical Minds) introducing students to research data complements our study of systems.
Communication is the key to a successful year. Each student will be given a take home folder as one way to keep information organized. Any notes, papers, and assignments will be placed in the folder. Please take the time to check your child’s ALERT folder each week and use it to return any correspondence. I will also keep families informed by the use of a classroom blog that you may check for a glance at what we have been up to in class. You can find the link to your child’s day of instruction at http://hoftalert.blogspot.com/.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call or email me. Email is usually the best form of communication. My address is jhoft@richland2.org. I look forward to getting to know you and your child as we work together to make this a great year in ALERT!
