Granby District and Curriculum
Granby Public Schools contain three schools and over 1,100 students. Granby Public Schools provide a balanced program of studies that foster problem solving and 21st century learning skills. The curriculum is based on the Common Core Standards. Academically-speaking, students are expected to be able to communicate effectively, use problem solving skills, read and listen actively, and use digital tools to locate and evaluate information. The district’s superintendent regularly updates a blog in which parents are given information on the curriculum and other goings-on in the schools.
We currently cover the following Granby-area school district: Granby Public Schools.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Granby District Curriculum
The Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks provide an overview of what students should learn in each subject and give teachers grade level expectations to follow so that students are progressing apace. All academic subjects and Vocational Technical Education have a series of standards defined so that students are learning the types of knowledge and critical thinking skills they will need in college and professional life. In addition, the development of 21st century learning skills such as collaboration and creative thinking are developed through projects, community service, and the extracurricular opportunities.
The junior-senior high school offers the core courses, along with various unique elective courses. Advanced students are encouraged to take Advanced Placement courses, which are on the level of classes taken by college freshmen. There is also a library media center that students are expected to become familiar with. In all subjects, the ability to conduct research and do presentations are a part of the expectations, and the research and media resources available supports student learning in research skills.

Chalk Talk: Comparing Fractions
Once elementary-age students get a handle on identifying basic fractions, they will begin to compare two or more fractions. They will learn that—contrary to whole numbers—the larger the denominator a fraction has, the smaller the fraction. For instance, 2/3 is a larger fraction than 2/4. They will have to order a list of fractions with the same numerator and different denominators. They will also order fractions with different numerators and the same denominator; the larger the numerator, the greater the fraction. Students will also have to recognize fractions that are equivalent to basic fractions such as 3/4 (e.g.: 6/8) and 1/2 (e.g.: 4/8). Finally students will have to use greater than, less than, or equal signs to compare two fractions; for example, 1/4 > 1/8.
