Kinston District and Curriculum

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Kinston District Curriculum
The Math curriculum emphasizes reasoning and making sense of problems, skills which have immediate, real-world applicability. Comparisons of attributes, representation and interpretation of data, and analysis of patterns are foundational elements that are also focused upon. Quantitative reasoning and concepts are important for science and business applications, as well as for everyday rates like batting averages or points scored per game.
The Language Arts curriculum focuses on reading strategies and the ability to write for a wide variety of purposes. Other communication skills like speaking and listening are also a major part of the curriculum, and are often learned through classroom discussions and presentations. The reading comprehension skills are applied to both literary and non-fiction texts and writing is conducted for purposes such as creativity, providing information and persuasion.

Keeping Informed: Recent Kinston Educational News
- Job Shadowing - The partnership between community and school is essential for educational success, and Lenoir County is definitely successful if Job Shadowing Day is the measure. More than 120 businesses in Kinston, LaGrange, Pink Hill and Deep Run hosted students numbering over 330 from Kinston, North Lenoir, and South Lenoir High Schools.
- Book Cover Parade - “The books were marching down the hall, hurrah, hurrah…” Students in Southeast Elementary’s AIG program used a unique approach to present information about books they’d read: they used sandwich boards. The event, supplemented with grant money from the Community Council of the Arts, enabled students to show off their work, with a brief synopsis of their book, an illustration of an important scene, and key questions drawn and written on the sandwich boards. A parade down the hallways completed the project.
- REALLY Early Voting - This year, early voting came extra-early…about 5 years prematurely, in fact. Eighth graders at Frink Middle School participated in their own Presidential election during the US Presidential run to the White House. In the weeks leading up to their voting, students studied the American Founding Fathers, the American Revolution, the Declaration of Independence, and other foundational elements of our democratic republic. They watched both the Republican and Democratic National Conventions and some of the debates from the campaigns, culminating in casting their ballots.

Chalk Talk: A Journal Can Be Your Best Friend
Journals are for more than writing your feelings—try using one for every school subject to keep track of key information. Devote a composition notebook to math, for example, to write down formulas and steps for solving different types of problems. Assign a different notebook to social studies for history timelines and historical people, and for all those “-isms” you have to know (like nationalism, federalism, feudalism, etc.). A science journal could contain life cycle diagrams, chemistry formulas, and environmental processes; an English journal could include vocabulary lists and grammar components. Spend 5-10 minutes after school every day to move key info from the work you did in class to your journal; with all the important stuff in one place, studying before a test will be a snap! And, who knows—your teacher might even let you use your journal on the test…
