Knowledge-Based Interdisciplinary Units

Our World ~ Past, Present & Future

Our interdisciplinary inquiry units enrich and strengthen the First-grade curriculum by seamlessly integrating Science, Studies, English Language Arts, Mathematics, and the Habits of Mind. The focus is on nurturing effective thinking habits and promoting critical thinking, adaptability, and collaboration. These inquiry units for our first-grade students center around the essential question:

 "How can our choices change the world?"

This question sparks exploration and curiosity and inspires students to work together to find answers. Through hands-on experiences, real-world connections, and collaborative learning, students explore ideas and share their thinking. Performance-based experiences allow learners to demonstrate their understanding while making meaningful connections across content areas. Explore the five inquiry units below to see how curiosity, wonder, and a love of learning come to life!
