Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Houma District Curriculum
In order to meet and exceed curricular goals, in Language Arts students are taught how to read and navigate text, read, understand and apply new information from a variety of sources. Learning to access and evaluate information in text and from digital and visual sources is also a goal for each child. Writing to inform or learn is used throughout the grade levels and in all core classes.
Math computation is a skill taught in the early grades, and practiced as students grow and learn. In the middle grades the focus is on problem-solving, independent learning and building skills to work as a team member to identify problems, analyze possibilities and creatively select solving strategies to solve those problems. Explaining their thinking verbally and in writing are skills that students need to acquire in order to meet the challenges of a global society, encompassing the mathematic literacy which is an aim of the curriculum.

Chalk Talk: How Can I Encourage My Older Child to Be More Responsible?
As students enter middle or high school, friendships with peers become very important! During these years, students need help from their families to learn about setting goals, developing a good work ethic, and following directions well. Students often need family help and support in these areas. Help your child set small, reasonable goals for the grades he or she wants to earn in each subject. Help him or her make a plan to reach that goal. Periodically during the quarter, have a “goal meeting” to assess progress and make changes as necessary. Create clear expectations for your pre-teen or teenager. Write them down, discuss them together. Have a plan of rewards and consequences based on your teen’s choices.
