Integrated Units

All social studies and science units are taught through integrated units where students apply language arts, mathematical skills, and art to their learning. Literature is used to enrich the units. 

Some units being studied are:

• Neighborhoods and Communities
• Nocturnal Animals
• Solids and Liquids
• Measurement
• Money
• Fairy Tales
• Vermicomposting (composting with worms), recycling, and reusing
• Lake Michigan
• China
• Weather
• Other units may be introduced during the year. 

Activities pertaining to these units help students develop observation and discrimination skills, learn maps and globe skills, develop concepts through first-hand experiences, develop a respect for the community and environment, and learn to care for their surroundings.
