Our first unit is a study of trees.
Different types of plants and animals inhabit the earth. As a basis for understanding this concept:
- Students know how to observe and describe similarities and differences in the appearance and behavior of plants and animals (e.g., seed-bearing plants, birds, fish, insects).
- Students know stories sometimes give plants and animals attributes they do not really have.
- Students know how to identify major structures of common plants and animals (e.g., stems, leaves, roots, arms, wings, legs).

- Follow rules, such as sharing and taking turns, and know the consequences of breaking them.
- Learn examples of honesty, courage, determination, individual responsibility, and patriotism in American and world history from stories and folklore.
