Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Elmira District Curriculum
At the elementary level, in English and Language Arts, the focus is on developing reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills that allow students to have command of the English language. The ability to critically analyze reading material is also stressed so that students ask and answer complex questions about their reading. Students are expected to be able to provide detailed analyses of the material and to write compositions and reports that are well documented.
In Math, students in elementary school learn the basics of counting and numbers, basic arithmetic and mathematical operations. They also are presented with simple algebraic and geometric thinking. Students continue with their studies in algebra and geometry and also learn the basics of probability and statistics. Coursework in Math stresses the ability to use abstract reasoning, to solve complex math problems using the correct mathematical tools and logic.
