Centereach District and Curriculum
Middle County Central School District encompasses schools in the Long Island-area towns of Centereach, Lake Grove, and Selden. The district is very large, serving nearly 11,000 students. In the elementary grade levels, the curriculum follows a planned continuum. The curriculum is rigorous, standards-based, and interdisciplinary. Reading and writing are built around deep understanding and are incorporated into all of the core content areas of English language arts, math, social studies, and science. Technology is also focused on as both a subject of study and a tool for learning. Curricular expectations are refined so that students learning is apace with real world changes.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Centereach District Curriculum
Secondary courses are organized by levels based on students’ skills, needs, and interests. Centereach High School offers career education services in business and marketing, cosmetology, technology, general work experience, and family and consumer sciences. The district has developed instructional goals for reviewing the math and science curricula so that it enhances both rigor and applicability.

The following aspects of the science curriculum will be reviewed for the elementary level: Lego engineering, robotics courses, more curricular units incorporating STEM, ongoing STEM experiences with STEM partners, the use of outdoor classrooms, etc. In elementary math, the focus areas are continuing improvement on Common Core Standards concepts, capacity building professional development, and parent engagement.

Chalk Talk: Connecting Annual Holidays to Yearlong Learning
Although Ground Hog Day may not be the most popular holiday, kids love to see whether or not Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow. This annual event can lead to a lesson on weather in elementary classrooms. If Phil sees his shadow, they can talk about the weather that they would expect to see over the next six weeks of winter in their location (perhaps snow, cold, ice, etc.). The same could be done for spring if Phil does not see his shadow (rain, warm, sun, etc.). Students can even compare and contrast the two seasons and give weather reports. Younger students can learn about the seasons of winter and spring and compare and contrast various aspects of the seasons, such as clothing that would be worn (heavy coats in the winter and lighter sweaters in the spring), what they might see outside (icicles and snowmen in the winter; flowers and birds in the spring); and activities that would be performed within each season (sled riding in the winter; gardening in the spring). Students can also research and learn about groundhogs: habitats, what they eat, how long they sleep, what kind of senses they have, physicandal characteristics.
