Knowledge-Based Interdisciplinary Units

Knowledge-Based Interdisciplinary Units 

These interdisciplinary inquiry units enrich and fortify the third-grade curriculum by seamlessly weaving together Science, Studies, English Language Arts, and The Habits of Mind. The focus is on nurturing effective thinking habits, promoting critical thought, adaptability, and collaboration. These inquiry units for our third-grade students center around the essential question:

 "How Can I Respond To My World with Wonderment and Awe?"

This question propels exploration, research, and collaborative learning. Real-world examples highlight practical applications and collaborative group work encourages the sharing of ideas. Performance assessments provides opportunities for our learners to dive deeply into an area of exploration while showcasing their understanding and integration of the various content areas, theme, and essential question. This approach fosters an interactive environment, empowering students to establish meaningful connections between subjects and extend their skills beyond the classroom.
