Lakewood District and Curriculum
The Lakewood City Schools follows Ohio’s New Learning Standards and is in the process of adopting the Common Core State Standards in Reading and Mathematics. Common Core State Standards were originated by teachers, parents, education experts, and other national educators and provide clear, consistent expectations for what students should be learning at each grade level in order to be prepared and successful for later endeavors in higher education and career paths. Regular assessments throughout the year help teachers to determine if each student has mastered the concepts and the data obtained from these assessments help to drive further instruction.
We currently cover the following Lakewood-area school district: Lakewood City Schools.

Chalk Talk: Verb Tenses
English grammar has six basic verb tenses: past, present, future, present perfect, past perfect, and future perfect. When writing, correct verb tense needs to use the correct form of the verb in the context of the time frame of the writing. When writing of something that happened in the past, use past tense. If the writing is about the present, use present tense. In addition, verbs need to agree in number with the subjects. Incorrect Tense: Last month, Sally drives over to her best friend’s house. Corrected Version: Last month, Sally drove over to her best friend’s house. Since the event in the sentence happened “last month,” (in the past) the past tense version of the verb “to drive” is the correct tense to use.
