Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Delta Township District Curriculum
One of the goals of the national Common Core curriculum is to prepare all students to be ready to enroll in college or join the work force. Several anchor standards in the Language Arts curriculum speak to this goal. One of these is the speaking and listening strand where students must master the act of active listening and collaborative conversations. They must also be able to present information coherently to an audience. Students will work on this strand through high school by integrating it into other subjects whenever possible.
Another goal of the Common Core curriculum is to assure that all students are literate in the content areas of Science, History, and Technology. One of the ways the curriculum does this is by integrating Language Arts with these content areas. For instance, during the Language Arts block students may read an informational text about the rainforest and then write an argumentative piece explaining why trees should not be cut down in the rainforest any further.

Chalk Talk: How to Learn Math Skills in Real-Live Context
It’s one thing to learn Mathematics concepts in school, but applying them in real-life scenarios is the true test of mastery. You can give your student some extra practice and exposure with a few helpful ideas. Younger students can set up a lemonade stand to practice many of these skills. Mixing the lemonade will require students to practice their measurement skills while selling it will entail adding and subtracting decimal numbers. Older students can practice some of these same skills by have a yard sale. Have your student gather any items they no longer want or need. Then, have them itemize each item, come up with a price, and label everything. This will help students practice categorizing and estimating. Finally, have your student hold a yard sale one weekend giving him or her complete control of the advertising, set-up, and money. While practicing several Math skills, they may also make a little money that they can then use to create a budget for things they would like to buy. Not only will students have fun with these activities, they will learn some valuable lessons as well.
