Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Decorah District Curriculum
Decorah Community Schools post a curriculum guide for each content area and grade level. Each curriculum guide contains each benchmark students are expected to attain as well as a description or example as to how students met that standard. For example, a benchmark kindergarten students are expected to attain in language arts is to “draw, dictate, and/or write a logical sequence of events.” Two specific examples of a child meeting this standard are their retelling a story in sequence and him/her putting pictures of a story in the correct order.
Decorah High School offers a variety of unique course options, including Agriscience, Digital Painting, Pre-Employment Strategies, and Macroeconomics. Advanced Placement and Honors courses are also available in core academic subjects and which allow students to learn at a higher degree of academic rigor. There are also college and career readiness standards that call upon students to be able to think critically and independently about the topics they are learning. Among those standards is also the expectation that student be able to conduct research.

Chalk Talk: Children’s Literature Spotlight: “The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs!”
This is a hilarious variation of the classic “The Three Little Pigs” tale, which was written by Jon Scieszka. This version differs greatly from the classic story, as it is told from the wolf’s perspective. In Scieszka’s story, the wolf was not really big and bad; he just wanted to borrow a cup of sugar so he could make his granny’s birthday cake. When visiting his first two neighbors (the pigs) to ask for some sugar, he sneezed—he had a cold—and blew their houses down. The two pigs died, so he could not just leave them there without having dinner. The wolf was found at the third pig’s house, where he was trying to break down his door because he criticized his granny. According to the wolf, the news reporters spiced up the story and made him out to be the Big Bad Wolf.
