Sandy District and Curriculum
Sandy Schools help children excel in their education by providing a unique curriculum that is based on the Common Core State Standards. These standards provide a series of objectives within the major topics of each subject so that students go deeper each year and gain an analytic and critical thinking edge through this approach.
We currently cover the following Sandy-area school district: Oregon Trail School District.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Sandy District Curriculum
The Reading curriculum shows students different ways to look at books. They begin by learning how different books can cover the same subject from different viewpoints. As they mature they may read “The Island of the Blue Dolphin” and use contemporary songs to apply to it. They also learn how to make character sketches on various books, such as “The Glass Castle.” These students learn that books can be explored in many different ways.
The Science curriculum encourages children to explore the world around them with the mindset of a scientist. When the students are in elementary they have the opportunity to explore the world of flight through an inquiry based curriculum. These children have professionals share with them plus they take a field trip to the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum. Another class begins the school year by having the students use their observation skills to complete a scavenger hunt through their text book.

Chalk Talk: Fourth Grade Social Studies Expectations
Social Studies curriculum may vary from state to state but generally students learn about the United States’ geography. They learn about the five regions of the United States and are expected to be able to point out the differences and similarities between the regions. They also lean why the states are grouped into these regions. By the end of the year each student should be able to identify states on a map, plus name the capital and other major cities.
