Curriculum
Students are offered special
classes in music, library, gym,
art, and computers. Below is
information on the academics.
Language Arts/Reading - We will be having a phonics activity each day. Self selected reading and read aloud books will be an important component. Ongoing reading challenges will occur throughout the school year. It is encouraged that students read 15 to 30 min. each night.
Math – Through Growing with Mathematics, students are encouraged to use problem solving skills to solve real world situations. Hands-on activities will enhance student learning.
Social Studies - Students will learn about themselves, other cultures, their community, and map studies, as well as social skills in getting along with others.
Science - Students will be involved in inquiry based activities that include Soils, Weights/Balance, Liquids/Solids/Gases, and the Lifecycle of the Butterfly.
Art/Music - Fine Arts are integrated in the curriculum.

Homework
- Students will have a small amount of homework each day to reinforce schoolwork and to learn the responsibility of returning it to school.
(If your child happens to forget their homework, have them read for 20 minutes and write a note to
tell us what was
read. They will get
credit for doing
their homework.)
