Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Brandon District Curriculum
In grades K-12, the core subjects of Mathematics, Language Arts, History, and Science are taught in a progressive fashion. This school system is preparing students for next generation learning challenges through its use of technology and state-of-the-art facilities. The teachers in K-12 teach using the most recent methods of instruction, such as differentiation of students, peer collaboration, and using assessment to drive instruction.
The Language Arts curriculum focuses on written and spoken communication of all types. Students read literature from around the world, non-fiction and news media pieces, and genres like poetry and drama. The writing expectations call upon students to learn expository, persuasive and reflective style pieces and develop processes for strong writing habits. Discussion and presentation skills are also developed in Language Arts courses, and often based around the texts students are studying in class.

The most recent production is the “Little Shop of Horrors” and has been very popular! The Performing Arts Theatre is where all the productions are held.

- Humane Society Donation - Fred Assam Elementary did something wonderful for the animals of the community. Over the winter, the student council did a fabulous project for the Humane Society. They plan on doing this again because it was really a success! They collected donations of cat food, dog food, litter, rugs, blankets, shampoo, and toys for the animals. They also raised money by doing a “penny war” with the other grade levels, and used the money for the Humane Society as well. Great job, Fred Assam Elementary School! They raised almost $1000!

Chalk Talk: The Importance of the Middle School Teacher
The middle school teacher has been known to be a “special breed” of teachers to many people. This is because middle school students are at a very difficult age of growth and development, and the need for patient, firm, and caring middle school teachers in immense. Middle school teachers must show compassion, consistency, and firmness. They must also be effective teachers and use a variety of teaching styles to keep the middle school students’ attention and motivation to learn and be successful in their education.
