Denison District and Curriculum

Denison Community School District serves about 2,250 students in four schools. Through the Iowa Core curriculum, students must have the ability to think critically, creatively, and constructively; this includes organizing information, making decisions, solving problems, reasoning, and knowing how to learn. The district provides Iowa Core Parent Guides to help parents understand the skills and understandings students are expected to acquire by the end of each grade level. In addition to a strong academic focus, the district also emphasizes the lessons learned from community service as well as participation in extracurricular activities.

We currently cover the following Denison-area school district: Denison Community Schools.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Denison District Curriculum

Denison Community Schools’ curriculum vision is to develop and institute a curriculum that is challenging, cultivates lifelong learning, is meaningful, develops social responsibility, is grounded in each subject’s basic content, and develops thinking skills. Students must be able to make meaning out of what they learn, applying it to real world situations and making connections within content areas. Basic content skills students need to acquire include reading, writing, speaking, and listening; solving mathematical problems; utilizing technology; and applying core concepts from all the content areas.

The Math portion of the curriculum helps students master the fundamentals of solving a range of different types of math problems including numeric, geometric, algebraic. It requires that students work through word problems and be able to show their mathematical reasoning. By the end of middle school, topics that students work on include the number system, expressions and equations, functions, geometry, and statistics and probability. Each of these topics are offered as full year advanced math courses in high school.

Chalk Talk: Books That Address Classroom Issues

There are many children’s books that address classroom issues. In “Arthur’s April Fool”, Binky bullied Arthur and threatened to punch him. During Arthur’s magic show, Binky volunteered to come on stage. He embarrassed Arthur, but he thought of an idea. He was going to saw him in half for his next trick; Binky ran away, and everyone laughed. Binky also became the victim of another April Fool’s Day joke from Arthur and his friends. In “Chrysanthemum”, written and Illustrated by Kevin Henkes, a set of parents named their perfect child Chrysanthemum. Chrysanthemum herself thought her name was “absolutely perfect” until she started school, and her classmates made fun of her name. Then she thought her name was “absolutely dreadful.” Things changed when all of her classmates learned that their musical teacher’s first name was also that of a flower. Mrs. Twinkle loved the name Chrysanthemum. Since they idolized Mrs. Twinkle, the girls suddenly wished they had long, flower-inspired names of their own.
