Newberry District and Curriculum
The School District of Newberry County has the mission to “engage students at all levels in educational experiences that ensure success and life-long learning.” They promote this mission through the implementation of Montessori programs and the implementation of the Common Core State Standards. The Common Core State Standards have been adopted by the South Carolina State Department of Education in math and English language arts for full implementation by the 2014-2015 school year.
We currently cover the following Newberry-area school district: School District of Newberry County.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Newberry District Curriculum
The Montessori program, available in several elementary schools for students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade, is based on creating hands on practice of real world experiences. Students use common tools to incorporate math, reading, problem solving, time-management, and creative skills into real life situations. The curriculum requires them to be actively engaged in the learning process through the entire day in project-oriented, hands-on experiences.
The math standards still cover the same skills as in the past, but the focus from year to year has been changed. Students practice fewer standards in a given year, but to a greater depth and mastery so that less review must be completed in future classes. English language arts classes provide students with skills to read and synthesize a variety of texts, including both non-fiction and literature. Student learn to translate their reading and writing practice to all content areas, such as science and social studies, as well as to the real world.

Chalk Talk: Homework Time
Getting a child to complete his or her homework can be difficult for many families. Here are a few ideas to make this time easier. First, complete homework at the same time each day. The earlier in the afternoon the better, as your child will be less tired. Have a designated work area that should always be used for homework. Beds and couches are not good areas for this. If possible use a room without a television, if not possible, keep the television off during homework time. Help your child make a plan before starting his or her work by prioritizing work that can be completed quickly first and doing things that will take longer last. Allow short breaks, but only after productive work time. Breaks shouldn’t include television/video game time as this causes important parts of the brain to slow down. Let your child make some choices about when, where, and what to do first so he or she feels in control. However, remember you are the parent and have ultimate decision making power to veto their decisions.
