In the intersection of art and science lay all other subjects!

Language "Arts"; Social "Science"!

All embedded throughout the curriculum, peppered with math and statistics, patterns and randomness, order and chaos!

I've sent you an email, too.

And Social Studies with ELA can be so rich and fun!

Thanks for being a teacher!

Same subjects. I love the 7th grade curriculum, though. Nothing like pyramids and mummies and the Roman Army to get kids to sit up and take notice!
