Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Halfmoon District Curriculum
Halfmoon’s math curriculum focuses on developing students’ knowledge of core mathematics concepts such as numeration, abstract thinking, problem solving, and reasoning. Students begin to develop these fundamentals in the earliest grades, and then go on to further develop their understanding of them as they move up through the grades. By high school, students are working with geometric proofs, applying theorem and developing a keen sense of spatial analysis.
Halfmoon’s English Language arts curriculum develops students’ ability to read closely and attentively in a wide variety of fiction and non-fiction texts. Students use these basic literacy skills as a base on which they develop other important literacy skills such as textual analysis, writing, and verbal communication. They use and create media to help develop their awareness of the purposes that drive different texts. They are encouraged to develop a voice that spans informational, persuasive and creative tones and have the ability to use formal English in any of their work.

Chalk Talk: Seeking Knowledge
Of the many attributes that students who will live most of their lives in the 21st century will need, being a knowledge seeker is often overlooked. It is overlooked because many people believe that, today, seeking knowledge begins and ends with a computer screen. Doubtlessly, we have all heard that today’s children have the entire world’s knowledge and history at their fingertips. Those who make such a claim do not seem to understand that locating information on a computer is not active knowledge seeking. It is passive fact finding. Knowledge seekers asks questions of others. They implore. They value another person’s experience. These are attributes that today’s children should have. Parents and teachers should teach children how to ask useful questions and how to have conversations. They should also model these traits for the children in their lives. Making a knowledge seeker begins with question and a conversation.
