Themes

2005-2006

(our all-school theme for this year will be Water/Oceans)

The first and second grades will tentatively follow these thematic studies throughout the year. These topics are subject to change. They are posted here so parents and community members may be aware of the areas of study we have chosen for this school year. Please let us know if you have anything you might like to contribute to our science and social study themes. Thank you for taking the time to view this page!
