Our current focus has been on the area of spelling and language arts. We continue to find ways to improve our spelling program through the use of teaching strategies involving phonics as well as traditional literature approaches. The new social studies curriculum includes CD roms which provide exciting and motivating avenues for teachers and students. Our math curriculum, Mathland, requires children have a greater understanding of math operations. We are now piloting a Beginning Algebra Program for 5 th graders.
Teachers find that algebra is a great way to motivate high achieving students.
If you have any questions regarding our curriculum, please contact Principal Bruce Whitehead at 549-6109. The Consortium was established to review and approve curriculum throughout Missoula County to ensure a more uniform county-wide curriculum. The Consortium is piloting a standardized system of assessing students called Achievement Level Tests. These tests assess student achievement in reading, language, and math. Students take the tests each fall and spring in third through eighth grade.
