Curriculum
- ELA (English Language Arts) - Benchmark Advance is our adopted ELA curriculum. Using this program along with other sources, students will improve their reading and writing abilities.
- MATHEMATICS - "Go Math!" published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt is our adopted math curriculum. Various books, workbooks, games, and other resources (including Ten Marks and Reflex Math) are used to support our Harcourt Mathematics curriculum.
- SCIENCE - We follow the NGSS Science Standards. I use Benchmark, GLAD Units and STEMscopes to teach science. STEMscopes is a hands-on, NGSS aligned science curriculum generously funded by a previous year FUND-A-NEED program! Students will study life science, earth, and physical science, as well as engaging in the Next Generation Science Standards with experiences and supplies generously donated by our families.
- SOCIAL STUDIES - This year, students will learn about the history of our community and the ways in which we have changed both regionally and nationally. Topics range from early Native Americans, immigration to California, and to how the current government system operates. The social studies curriculum is published by TCI.
- PE, VAPA, and TECH - All students will participate in P.E. twice weekly with Ms. Hadden and Mrs. Nichols. Students will participate in at least one musical play in the classroom. Music instruction will begin again this year with a new teacher, Mrs. Ting! Finally, students will practice keyboarding skills, general technology concepts, and continued math and language skills practice online.
