Discovery Labs (Grades K–6)
Where literature and family learning open a world of discovery!
The vision of Circle's new activity, Discovery Labs, is to enhance the home education journey through a cooperative experience in a family learning environment. By providing educational opportunities for students and parents through a hands-on unit study approach using great literature as the foundation, Discovery Labs are a new way to enrich family learning.
This parent participation activity offers moms and students new ways to enhance family learning. Open to students K–5 grade, this activity has a four-week commitment with a Reading week, a Learning Lab week, a Field Lab week and a Presentation Lab week. Parents must accompany their students as well as participate in the learning process.
Join us for two Summer Sessions of Discovery Labs. The June Lab will feature the book John Phillip Duck, and the July Lab will feature The Christmas Tapestry.
