Timeline for DreamIT.

I have to modify my unit according to my 3 rd grade team. We have few books to

share so we have five weeks of science and five weeks of social studies. I have been
working with my students on my DreamIT project. They have been reading and
researching about the planet. We are going to start our Science. More date and
activities will be added to the unit.
