K-2 Labs

Labs are an important feature of the K-2 curriculum because they support and extend student learning from the module lessons. They are designed to help teachers ensure that all of their students get the time to play and explore, become immersed in oral language and content knowledge, and practice skills and habits of character that they need--both to live joyfully and to be fully successful and proficient.

Life Science Modules

Our Grades 3-5 Language Arts curriculum includes one optional Life Science module per grade level. If schools choose to teach this optional module, it will represent three additional hours per week of instruction but only during Module 2, which is approximately eight to nine weeks. Although the Life Science modules can stand alone, each one connects with and complements Module 2 of the grade-level language arts module lessons.
