Our 1st Module will focus on schools. Students will learn about what makes a school and why schools are important. We will focus on these ideas:

• Schools are places that build knowledge and skills, foster character and relationships, and help students create high quality work.

• Schools are different, but they serve an important purpose for the community.

Our close read alouds include:

• The Dot

• The Invisible Boy

• Off to Class

This quarter in science we will focus on the states of matter! We will explore the different states of matter as we understand the difference between solids and liquids. Students will describe their various properties and the changes they undergo including melting, freezing, and evaporation.

Our theme for social studies this quarter will be “Thinking like a Historian”. Students will delve into clues by using primary and secondary sources to examine maps, government and the relationship between people and their environment. Students will begin thinking like a historian by using historical thinking while building research and inquiry skills.
