For the past few months, we have used this special section to share updates from GLOBE's Reopening Committee on guidance to inform a safe return, and we will continue to address your questions and concerns here. GLOBE's COVID-19 tracker is updated each Wednesday at www.theglobeacademy.org. Please visit our site and click the graphic for weekly updates on the pandemic conditions with more detailed information about these data. If you have questions about GLOBE's Return-to-Campus Plan, please submit them here. We will do our best to answer as many questions as possible during the upcoming Town Hall and then back here in the weeks after.

Science LC
We are starting off many new units of science and to keep you connected to what is happening in class, here are the current units for each grade:
3rd - We are studying soils and will learn about fossils next.
2nd - Ask your 2nd grader what they know about the life cycles of a frog, chicken and butterfly (or insect). We will learn about plant life cycles and pollination next.
1st - Ask your 1st grader to draw you a model of the earth that includes the north pole and south pole. Our next unit will cover magnets.
K - Ask your Kindergartner to show you the results of our sink and float experiment. Then if you need a fun activity, do your own sinking and floating experiment at home.
