Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Harlingen District Curriculum
Geometry is a part of the mathematics curriculum. Beginning with learning how to identify shapes, students soon learn how shapes help when classifying items in the world. Within a few years, students start to learn how to measure shapes, including the perimeter and angles. When they enter high school students have the option of continuing on with studying this topic by taking an entire course in geometry. Here they learn the formulas to create circles, triangles and more complex shapes.
The reading curriculum begins with introducing students to book and how pictures can be used to find out the content of the pages. After the students learn how the letter sounds help create the words on the pages, they begin to learn other strategies to decipher words, such as identifying the beginning and ending sounds of words. They then learn about genres and authors’ voices. In high school, students are able to read novels and plays to help open their worlds in their lives of reading.

Chalk Talk: Understanding Special Education Language
When sending a child off to school, parents expect to come across some vocabulary they have not had to deal with before, such as PTO, word deciphering and so on. They may not have expected to come across some of the vocabulary they come across in the Special Education field, this is not always the case, so here are some new items for these parents. I.D.E.A. stand for Individuals with Disabilities Education Act ensures that every child in school has access to services related to special education in the school. L.R.E. or Least Restrictive Environment states that every child, no matter what services are needed, should be able to learn around their peers. Another term that may not be familiar to students with special needs is I.E.P., or Individualized Education Plan. This is the one term these parents may come across most often. These are plans set forth for each child which is developed by parents, teachers and educational specialists which include specific learning goals and objectives. With these phrases, a parent of a special needs child can enter this new area of their child’s life with more confidence.
