Milton District and Curriculum
Milton Public Schools contain six schools and approximately 3,900 students. There are four elementary schools with grades PK-5, a middle school, and a high school. The district’s core values include high academic achievement and success in the classroom for all students, collaboration and communication, respect for human diversity, and risk-taking and innovation in education. Milton Public Schools provide parents with extensive information about the curriculum. For grades K-5, there is a brief description of the instruction as a whole in each grade, a curriculum brochure, and specific information about each content area.
We currently cover the following Milton-area school district: Milton Public Schools.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Milton District Curriculum
The curriculum brochures contain snapshots of the instruction and learning in each subject and information on how parents can participate in their children’s education. The content area descriptions provide brief overviews, including general learning activities throughout the school year and information about the programs students use, and specific measurable learning objectives that describe what children will be able to learn and do each year. Reading is broken down into writing, phonics and phonemic awareness, and speaking and listening.
Milton offers a French immersion program. Students in this program who are in grades one and two receive instruction in language arts, math, science, and social studies entirely in French; in the remaining grades up to grade eight, the amount of instruction in French is gradually reduced. Once students reach high school, they may choose to take at least one French class per day, including Advanced Placement (AP) French, as well as other foreign language courses. Descriptions of the specific content areas instructed in French by grade level are available.

- Pierce to Serve Smoothies - Pierce Middle School will begin to serve nutritious smoothies to its students for breakfast thanks to the funding worth $1,864 it received to support its Fuel Up to Play 60 initiative. The school hopes this will increase student participation in its breakfast program and will offer students free smoothies on the first day of the program. In 2015, public schools will be federally mandated to provide a fruit option for breakfast, and Fuel Up to Play 60 aims for schools across the U.S. to serve nutritious breakfasts.
- Milton Students Write Letters in Support of Boston Marathon Runners - Students from Milton joined those from other area school districts in a letter-writing campaign called the Run Again Project. The founder of the project started it after talking to a runner who was unable to finish the 2013 Boston Marathon due to the tragic events that took place and recording a song called “I Will Run Again.” Pierce Middle School students performed the song at a music festival in Milton that was organized by the runner’s brother.

Chalk Talk: Educational Jargon: Manipulatives
Manipulatives are tangible materials that help students understand concepts, especially in math. Several different objects can be used to help children learn the different mathematical concepts, including their favorite toys. Students often use cubes when first being introduced to place value. Fractions are complex, so children greatly benefit from using manipulatives before pictures to understand the concept. Manipulatives provide the most concrete way for students to gain an understanding of mathematical ideas, and once they have mastered the learning with objects, teachers often move on to pictures, and so on. There is some controversy about allowing older students or children who can proceed without using objects to work with manipulatives. Of course, all students have to learn how to solve problems with numbers and equations, but they should still be given opportunities to solve problems the way they want. It is important that teachers come up with and explain concise rules about using manipulatives, making it clear that they be used as learning tools only, not as toys.
