Year-Long Theme: Resilience and Transformation

This year, our curriculum will revolve around the theme of resilience and transformation. Through our reading adventures, science explorations, and Texas history lessons, students will discover how individuals, communities, and the environment undergo change and growth. They will learn how resilience—the ability to withstand and adapt to challenges—plays a crucial role in personal and societal transformation. This theme will help students appreciate the dynamic nature of the world around them and inspire them to face their own challenges with courage and creativity.
