Anamosa District and Curriculum

Anamosa Community School District uses the Iowa Core Curriculum as the basis for teaching and learning in all of their schools. The Iowa Core provides detailed learning standards for kindergarten through 12th grade in Literacy, Math, Science, Social Studies, and 21st Century Skills. The standards provide a logical progression to learning that increases complexity in the same subject-area strands, such as writing in the Literacy framework, and allows students to think critically about what they have learned. The 21st century skills involve other necessary areas of literacy such as health literacy, financial literacy and civic literacy.

We currently cover the following Anamosa-area school district: Anamosa Community School District.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Anamosa District Curriculum

Anamosa Community School District’s curriculum is reviewed on a five-year cycle that includes four phases: assess, plan, implement & monitor, and evaluate. The goal of the curriculum review process is to ensure that the written curriculum aligns with classroom instruction and assessment and, hence, improve students’ achievement for each district learning goal. The district posts standards and grade-level expectations for each content area. The district also looks for local connections that students can make with what they are learning.

For example, under the math standard for number systems ‘Students will understand and apply the concept of numbers,’ a specific expectation for fourth graders is to demonstrate an understanding of the fractions whole, half, third, and fourth. In seventh grade, students are to understand that numbers are not rational are called irrational and learn how to estimate the value of expressions (e.g., π4). In tenth grade, standards for the number and quantity strand help students understand matrices, vectors, and complex number algebra.

Chalk Talk: Books for Early Readers

The following books are great to use for very young children who are beginning readers. Cookie See! Cookie Do! is great for practicing body movements with very young students. In Where’s Spot?—written and illustrated by Eric Hill—Sally could not find her pup Spot until she eventually found him in a basket. The book allows readers to actually “open” doors, lids, etc. to search for Spot themselves. It includes repetitiveness, which is beneficial for beginning readers. Another great option is Are You My Mother? which is a great introduction to the joy of storytelling in books. It is a little longer than many beginner books, but it works through word repetitions and builds the story to a happy ending.
