Classroom Curriculum
In the 2nd-3rd grade, art, science and theme are one. Science is the development of the skill of "noticing", the basis of all scientific study. The students use art to express their concrete understanding of the theme. All skill learning (including reading, writing, and math) use thematic materials for their basis. When, for example, the classroom is studying Colonial America for the year, much of the reading, non-fiction research, art, music and science are based in Colonial America resources and materials.
