[quote=Anonymous]As folks have noted, nearly all of the standard DCPS ELA units focus on a science or social studies subtopic (so 4th grade includes rocks/minerals and the American Revolution as two of the ELA units, for instance). Then, at our school, either science or social studies is the basis of the writing curriculum in 3rd-5th grades. So the kids rotate through Math, ELA and Writing/Social Studies (3rd & 5th) or Writing/Science (4th). We used to have a Science special but it was just an extra/hands on element on top of the standard DCPS curriculum (so a good thing in my book!); and we still have FoodPrints, which every class gets a 2-3 hour block of once/month and is science-focused.[/quote]
