Elementary School
Mathematics
Our Elementary math courses inspire students to become critical thinkers and problem solvers. The learners use math as a tool to make sense of and understand the world around them.The courses include media that uses sight and sound to engage students. For example, rhymes, chants, songs, and videos help teach and practice foundational math skills.The focuses of the 3-5 math courses are multiplication and division within 100, fractions, decimals, shapes, area, and volume. Students explore content prior to being explicitly taught and hands-on activities help strengthen the learners’ algebraic and critical thinking skills. Digital and concrete manipulatives help support mathematical proficiency in all grades. The learners are provided with many practice opportunities that involve both on-screen and off-screen activities.
Science
The Elementary Science Grade 3 course will spark curiosity in students and build a solid foundation in concepts across many types of sciences including Earth Science, Life Science, and Physical Science.Students will engage in science and engineering practices by asking questions, defining problems, developing and using models, planning and conducting investigations, analyzing and interpreting data, using mathematics and informational technology, constructing explanations, designing solutions, engaging in scientific arguments using evidence, and communicating results.A framework of active student learning supports and allows students to engage, explore, explain, elaborate, and evaluate throughout all courses. This dynamic format will help students build their own understanding from experiences and new ideas in order to facilitate a better understanding of the world around them.
Language Arts
The Elementary English Language Arts courses provide students with a rigorous and comprehensive look at the ELA standards, focusing on reading foundational skills, reading comprehension strategies through informative and literature texts, writing, grammar, and speaking and listening skills.
Students will focus on reading to learn with the incorporation of more complex text and extensive exploration and use of vocabulary in reading and writing. Students will be taught grammar skills which will be implemented into the rigorous writing lessons and complement various topics. Students will participate in informative, narrative, and opinion writing compositions throughout the course.
Throughout the English Language Arts courses, students will explore a myriad of topics through integration across content areas. Each grade level of the ELA suite will surround student learning with an adventure-filled theme, showing students that learning really is a great adventure.
Social Studies
The Social Studies suite utilizes a personal approach to introduce students to community and citizenship. By following scaffolded instruction, students develop a firm understanding of important concepts and skills related to history, geography, and economics.The integration of recurring characters and challenges to overcome keeps students engaged and progressing. Students learn about community and are offered an introduction to history, geography, and economics. They develop an understanding of citizenship in the home, school, and community, the geography of North America, the impact of immigration, and the foundations of American citizenship.Students take a close look at American history and civics, and explore regions of the Americas, before looking at the important people, places, and events that shaped the state in which they live.Throughout, students analyze grade-appropriate passages to reinforce reading comprehension and writing skills.
