At CHIME, we are not bound to a single curriculum, text or instructional material. In fact, we are open to research many different models and approaches to best teach our students. As a team, we develop and create lessons and activities based on the standards set by California, The Common Core State Standards, as well as the abilities of the students in our classes. Our teacher-created curriculum allows creative, open-ended activities and allows for differentiation to be embedded in our classrooms each and every day.

Daily 5
Daily 5 is a literacy framework that instills behaviors of independence, creates a classroom of highly engaged readers, writers, and learners, and provides teachers with time and structure to meet diverse student needs. Because it holds no curricular content, it can be used to meet any school, district, state, or national standards. Daily 5 classrooms produce productive, highly engaged students who develop a true love of literacy.
During Daily 5, students select from five authentic reading and writing choices, working independently toward personalized goals, while the teacher meets individual needs through whole-group and small-group instruction, as well as one-on-one conferring.
Math
California GO Math! (K–6) completely engages students with the California Common Core Standards and Practices through a write-in student edition. Lessons begin with problem-based situations and then build to more abstract challenges. All along the way, students use multiple models, manipulatives, quick pictures and symbols to build mathematical understandings.
Science and Social Studies
Our science and social studies curriculum are teacher created based on the California Content Standards and follow the NGSS and C3 Framework. We teach about the community by making our very own complete with jobs and a mayor. We also teach about plants and animals by making rain forests in our classrooms! These subject areas are hands-on and engaging for all students.
