[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our WOTP DCPS has science as a once a week special from PK-3rd.  In 4th and 5th, science and social studies are ostensibly part of the daily classroom curriculum, although that wasn't always the practice, especially for social studies.

That said, scientific and social studies/history topics were somewhat baked into the math and ELA curriculum.  Not to the degree that we would have liked, but it's there.   We do a lot of enrichment outside of school.[/quote]

As am DCPS teacher of math and science at the elementary level, math and science are not integrated. They cannot be integrated. Eureka is a scripted curriculum. Stemscopoes is also structured. Please post the the documents that show how they are integrated.

On the other hand, ELA and SS are thoroughly integrated. The SS topics are part of the ELA.[/quote]

I'm a parent and spoke of my observation (with qualifications- it really was minimal and handwaving).  You obviously know more than I about the curriculum.  Maybe it was just their teachers, but they did applied math projects that were sent home (and since recycled).  I vaguely recall some astronomy, geology and biology adjacent projects.  It's been a few years though.[/quote]
