Study Units
The beginning of the year it is recommended that the first units of study be:
• Getting to know each other in the classroom community
• Everyone is an individual (“ I Am Special, No One Like Me”)
• What it is to be a Family
• “The Community” in which the children live
Choices throughout the year should be based on the children’s interest, season and events in the community.
