Tigard District and Curriculum

Tigard-Tualatin School District believe in combining the curriculum standards of the state of Oregon with the imagination of the teachers to offer their students a successful cross-curricular experience. Students are expected to develop a sense of citizenship, communication and problem-solving skills, and be able to apply critical thinking to the world around them. They are expected to become able to do quantitative and logical reasoning, analyze and critique texts, and hypothesize about scientific phenomenon.

We currently cover the following Tigard-area school district: Tigard-Tualatin School District.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Tigard District Curriculum

Social Studies begin as the students begin their educational experience in kindergarten. The teachers use books, such as Chicka Chicka Boom Boom to lead to a scavenger hunt of their school community. The students learn from the beginning to use iPads to teach each others subjects that they have learned. As the children get older they use themes to help the curriculum to cross into other areas. They look into national symbols, holidays around the world, and mapping and geography, and other relevant social concepts.

Science is another subject that can be taken across the curriculum and the teachers at Tigard Schools do this. They begin by taking a subject, such as bats, and finding the different ways they can use it in other subjects. In this example, they may graph the students’ feelings on these mammals, then they may explore the kinds of bats that can be found in different areas of the world. They can also use any topic in science and write about it in their writing classes.

Chalk Talk: Letter Writing

Children learn the basics of letter writing in school, however, many of them freeze up at the thought of actually putting pen to paper and practicing what they have learned. To help them with this method of communication, parents can keep a running list of some of the daily adventures that have occurred in the family. Perhaps a child did well at a spelling bee, or lost a tooth. By keeping a list, and posting it on the refrigerator, children are nudged to remember some of the things that excited them. If the students are still having difficulty writing, take turns with the child writing a line and then the parent. Taking turns can also help to jog the memory of the child. Last of all, allow the child time to decorate the letter to add a little extra special touch.
