Curriculum

Math:

We use the program called Eureka. It is a challenging but amazing program! It challenges the students and gives them a deeper understanding of math. The online component we will also use, that follows the Eureka lessons, is called Zearn. We will be covering the following math standards which include:

*Place Value

Social Studies:

This year in Social Studies your child will primarily be learning about the American Revolution. Students will also learn how to read maps, graphs, and timelines! We will be watching Liberty Kids to reinforce events we are learning about. Your child will also be learning all 50 states and capitals!

Social & Emotional Learning (SEL)

We will be incorporating social and emotional learning into our daily schedule. We will be using the Sanford Harmony program. This teaches the students to resolve conflicts or disagreements, form and strengthen relationships, recognize and manage emotions, empathize with others and support them, collaborate in the workplace, and interact with people with different experiences, backgrounds, and opinions.
