Course Catalog

Mathematics (grade 2) courses typically continue to build a conceptual foundation in number, operation, and quantitative reasoning; patterns, relationships, and algebraic thinking; geometry and spatial reasoning; and measurement. Students begin to incorporate the context of time and money. These courses often require students to develop their numerical fluency, particularly in addition and subtraction, and to solve problems using those operations as well as estimation. Specific content depends upon state standards...

Exploring Technology (grade 1) course enables students to explore topics of interest related to technology systems and processes.

Science (grade 2) courses continue to introduce students to basic scientific processes and principles. Course content may include identification of patterns, classification and sequencing, or manipulation of systems to observe interactions between parts and record the effects of change. Specific content depends upon state standards for grade 2.

Mathematics (grade 3) courses typically emphasize number, operation, and quantitative reasoning; patterns, relationships, and algebraic thinking; geometry and spatial reasoning; and measurement. These courses often require students to improve their numerical fluency, adding multiplication and division to addition and subtraction operations, using whole numbers and parts (quarters, thirds, halves), develop an understanding of unitizing (unit fractions), and estimation. Specific content depends upon state standards for grade 3.

Mathematics (grade 5) courses typically emphasize number, operation, and quantitative reasoning; patterns, relationships, and algebraic thinking; geometry and spatial reasoning; and measurement, including exploring the concept of volume. Course content may include activities that help students increase operational fluency, make connections between abstract symbols and concrete events or concepts, or present their mathematical reasoning. Specific content depends upon state standards for grade 5.

Mathematics (grade 4) courses typically emphasize number, operation, and quantitative reasoning; patterns, relationships, and algebraic thinking; geometry and spatial reasoning; and measurement. Course content may include activities that help students increase operational fluency, make connections between abstract symbols and concrete events or concepts, build an understanding of fraction equivalence, order, and decimal notation for fractions, or present conclusions based on data. Specific content depends upon state standards for grade 4.

This year-long comprehensive health education course provides students with the knowledge, skills, and understanding needed to maintain and improve their physical, mental, and social well-being. Through ten integrated units, students explore crucial aspects of personal and community health while developing practical skills for healthy decision-making and lifestyle choices. This course takes a holistic approach to health education, emphasizing the interconnection between physical, mental, and social health. Students will engage with...

Social Studies (grade 4) courses continue to develop skills in history, geography, civics and government, and economics. Although the four disciplines are typically integrated, these courses may take a more discipline-specific approach, such as concentrating on U.S. history, state-specific history, or civic engagement for periods of time. Specific content depends upon state standards for grade 4.

Social Studies (grade 3) courses build on previous knowledge and introduce concepts in the social studies disciplines: history, geography, civics and government, and economics. Instruction of the disciplines is often integrated for instructional purposes. Students may study these disciplines through the context of a specific theme or discipline, such as state-based social studies or U.S. history. Specific content depends upon state standards for grade 3.

Physical education- This course helps students develop a positive attitude toward physical activity that leads them to adopt a lifelong healthy, active lifestyle. This course provides students with the opportunity to learn a variety of sports and sport related movements as well as health and fitness concepts. Physical education also teaches important life skills about teamwork, competition, and ethical behavior through activities.
