Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Couer d’Alene District Curriculum
This district teaches the standard ELA curriculum, which includes a rigorous phonics course in Kindergarten, and progresses to basic, simple grammar skills in grades 1 and 2. By the end of their second grade year, they will have covered capitalization, punctuation, sentence structure, and identification of the main idea in literature and parts of speech. Beginning in the 3rd grade, students receive DIBELS testing which assesses their literacy skills. From 3rd to 5th grade, students learn grade level lessons in phonics, spelling, word analysis and grammar skills.
In grades 6-8, they are learning how to have oral discussions on a variety of topics based on written and visual information, write arguments, analyze promotional and persuasive writing, use technology to publish writing, and do research to write reports. In 9th grade, students analyze different writing styles in order to gain a deeper comprehension of written material, learn to use various writing styles such as MLA and Turabian, analyze historical and seminal documents, and learn narrative writing.

Chalk Talk: Attention Deficit Disorder
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), formerly known as ADHD, is a common condition that parents and teachers face today. Telltale signs may include difficulty focusing on school work or other duties, an accumulation of incomplete assignments, interrupted sleep pattern or difficulty falling asleep, restlessness, and talkativeness. However, children who have ADD may be able to focus on things that they are very interested in, be quiet, or sit for extended periods of time. A doctor must diagnose this condition, and cannot do so until the child reaches a certain age. There are traditional and natural treatments for ADD, as well as recommended lifestyle changes that have proven to be very helpful in relieving children of the symptoms. As a result, students with ADD have the same opportunities and successful experiences as students without it.
