Theme studies are the Science and Social Studies units we study throughout the year. In Science, we use National Geographic Learning Series to study Physical Science, Earth and Space Science and Life Science. These units are all aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards. .
Our Social Studies units incorporate elements of communities such as roles and responsibilities within communities and the economics of a community. We will also explore our world, its people and various perspectives of the people. For all Science and Social Studies units we connect across the curriculum. We extend our thinking by evaluating nonfiction texts and write to elaborate our ideas and investigations in all curricular areas.
