Results of student exploration are analyzed and then extended through application to new situations. Through the social studies curriculum, all students focus on current events, the contributions of ethnic groups, and the development of map and globe skills. Students participate in interdisciplinary units or simulations in which they experience hands-on activities rather than textbook dominated lessons. Our computer instruction includes word processing, graphics, graphing, and on-screen presentations. Computer software and three working computer labs enable students and staff to access a variety of materials during the instructional day.
Internet access is available.
Parent Training sessions enable parents to assist classroom teachers in the computer labs. Staff members receive training in software programs that support our SIP goals. The Library World System is utilized for author, subject, or title searches, and for checking out any of the Information Center's items.
