Perry District and Curriculum
The Perry Community School District follows the Iowa Core Curriculum which focuses on Literacy, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, and 21st Century Skills. These areas are each broken down into their essential topics so that each can be introduced with increasing complexity. Analytic skills are emphasized so that students can think critically about what they are learning. Other skills such as collaborative and creative thinking skills are also instilled. Community service and outreach as well as character education and social emotional learning also are part of the comprehensive learning experience.
We currently cover the following Perry-area school district: Perry Community School District.

Perry Community School District is greatly committed to enhancing instruction and learning with the use of technology through its one-to-one initiative that puts a device into the hands of each child. Perry uses several assessments, including the state standardized assessments, the Perry Math Test for kindergarteners and students new to the district, the FAST Literacy Assessments (K-5), and the Learning.com Technology Assessments (grades five and eight). The Perry Math Test and FAST exam are taken at the beginning and end the school year to gauge students growth.

Chalk Talk: Humorous Children’s Books
Give these books to children to give them a laugh. “Laura Numeroff’s 10-Step Guide to Living with Your Monster”, written by Laura Numeroff and illustrated by Nate Evans, tells readers how to buy their monster, take him to the vet, name him, feed him, play with him, go places with him, train him, sing with him, groom him, and put him to bed. The book is filled with fun, colorful illustrations. In Mo Willems’s “Pigs Make Me Sneeze!” Gerald the elephant is worried because he believes that he is allergic to his best friend Piggy. He is relieved to learn, when examined by a doctor, that he just has a cold! Another book that tells the hilarious adventures of Piggy and Gerald is entitled “Today I Will Fly.” In this story, Piggy is determined to fly, but Gerald repeatedly tells him that he will not be able to. When Piggy thinks he does fly, Gerald tells him that he jumped—not flew. At the end of the story, Piggy “flies” with the help of a bird.
