Fall Science Themes
Starting in September Mrs. Holm's Science classes will focus on the theme of sound and hearing integrating it into language arts writing. Both grades will be working on this integrated unit covering skills and topics from both Language Arts and Science. Students spending time researching facts from non-fiction reading material while spending time exploring this topic through hands-on activities.
Our unit is teacher led inquiry based. Students are being asked deep-thinking questions as we move through this unit in order to encourage a more student based approach to our learning. Students will be asked to write creative stories around the topic, investigate and record during science experiments.
Students will be using non-fiction texts from the library and using the internet to find information while using the new skills that they are taught to help them locate important information from non-fiction text.
Please stay tuned for more information.
