We are well into this year and we love working with your children! This is a very exciting time for education and your child will be the beneficiary of new, rich standards as well as school-wide BYOT (Bring Your Own Technology) opportunities.
We are pleased to announce the initial roll-out of Common Core Standards for both English Language Arts and Math. You will receive specific information about these new standards on Curriculum night, but we hope you will access the resources below to get a first glimpse:
•Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction
•Reading, writing and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational
•Regular practice with complex text and its academic language
Common Core Shifts for Mathematics
•Coherence: Think across grades, and link to major topics within grades
•Rigor: In major topics, pursue conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application
Thank you for helping us make Sharon Elementary School an excellent learning environment for all children. We truly appreciate your support and look forward to working with you and your child!
