Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Dumas District Curriculum
Students at Dumas Independent School District discover literature through the English curriculum. From elementary through high school, students learn how to create plot diagrams, to find the themes, location and characters in a story. Plus they find the author's voice and what kind of audience the story was written for. In high school they learn how to combine various subjects through stories such as Anne Bradstreet poetry or “How the World was Made." The skills they develop enable the students to break down any reading they face to find the answers they need.
The science curriculum includes the subjects of biology, chemistry, physics, ecology and the environment. Each of the students spend time learning from first-hand experiences in the field and in laboratory hours. They are taught how to observe, write scientific observations and thoughts, design and conduct experiments, and present their scientific findings.

Chalk Talk: Helping a Child with Textbook Homework
Many times a child will come home with an assignment to read from the textbook. This may seem straight forward, but many children will become overwhelmed with this type of assignments. To help them with this assignment first have them spend five minutes looking at the headings, maps, captions, pictures and graphs in the reading. Then ask them to share what the main idea was and how it relates to previous learning. If there are review questions, now is the time to look them over and see if the child can see where the answers may be. Next, ask them to read the pages carefully and see how they fit together. They can also place notes on the pages where they may have questions. Finally, have the child review for five minutes asking what they learned and what questions they have. With these steps, parents are helping children become more independent in the future with studying from a textbook.
