Curriculum RoadMap 4.24.23

We have exciting curriculum news! Last night the Board of Education approved the following:

✨Social Studies curriculum from McGraw Hill for grades 4th-8th
✨World Book Research Database for K-8 renewal
✨SMARTS Executive Functions Curriculum for 6th Grade

I've attached the flyer I created highlighting these programs above. One of the exciting pieces to our social studies curriculum is that the CASEL Framework for social emotional learning is the same framework that is integrated into our literacy series. This building wide common language is a key piece that will lead to stronger student application. We are also very excited about offering executive functions skills to our 6th graders as they transition to all things junior high and take on new academic challenges.

These opportunities help us to ensure #LWRockets leave as kind leaders, deep thinkers, strong communicators, and empowered citizens. LW truly is the place to be and I'm excited for what next year has to offer our students. 🚀
