Wolf Ridge Curriculum Concepts

under construction - these are not from the standard WR curr concepts -- is that ok?

• The sky is an important tool for orienting ourselves in space and time.
• Science is not the only way of probing questions about the universe. Mythology attempts to answer questions beyond the realm of science, such as how human beings fit into the larger picture of the universe.
• The way we order our lives is connected to the way we view the sky.
