Our Curriculum

Math

Lessons will match the NCTM and Massachusetts Frameworks-Number Sense, Patterns and Relations, Geometry and Measurement, and Probability and Statistics.

Third Grade will be using University of Chicago's Everyday Math.


Language Arts and Reading

The teacher's role in this student centered curriculum is to awaken the interest to learn, to enable each student to become literate, and to encourage mastery of effective communications in all disciplines.


Social Studies

Our focus is answering the essential question -"What is important about Massachusetts?"

Activities will match the expectations of the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks-Massachusetts history and geography, including Pilgrims, and immigration.


Science

Wonderful hands-on activities which encourage investigation and observation. These include the study of the solar system, the moon, light, sound, plants and the metamorphosis of the butterfly. Student activities for all these topics use inqury and the scientific method.
