Cross-curricular Connections

Spartan students have been working on many cross-curricular units.

• Mythology:  Students studied ancient Greece in Social Studies, wrote an editorial on the best and worst god or goddess in English, and read myths from ancient Greece in Language Arts as well as a mythology novel, The Lightning Thief.

• Poetry: After writing poems in English, students are reading poetry right now in Language Arts class.

• Country Research:  Next week, Spartans will be researching a country in Social Studies, Science, and Language Arts.  They will use their information to write a travel log from the perspective of a person visiting the country.

Upcoming units include the following:

• Endangered Species:  Later in the month, students will be researching endangered species for an essay in English and a PowerPoint in Science.  Students in Language Arts class will be reading the novel Hoot that focuses on a young boy's quest to save an endangered owl.

• The Incredible Journey/Animal Adaptations:  During the month of May, students will read the classic novel The Incredible Journey about the journey of three animals across the Canadian wilderness to get home to their family.  While reading the novel, students will study the adaptations of the wildlife featured in the book in Science class.
