Scituate District and Curriculum
Scituate Public Schools are comprised of 3,300 students in six schools. Scituate’s Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum, Instruction, & Staff Development discussed the importance of the community in preparing students to become critical thinkers in today’s global society. The district has developed parent-friendly curriculum brochures for each grade from K-6. The brochures describe the knowledge and skills children will gain by the end of the year in English language arts, math, social studies, and science, as well as give parents a brief overview of the home-school connection so that they can learn how to support their children academically.
We currently cover the following Scituate-area school district: Scituate Public Schools.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Scituate District Curriculum
To build on the overarching goal of the curriculum department, the English language arts department strives to develop students who are literate and thoughtful in a 21st century society. Students need to be able to read critically a variety of texts, including narratives, informational, and arguments. Also, they need to be able to respond to these texts in writing that is concise, organized, and contains strong ideas. Students must be effective communicators, presenting information both orally and through the creation of digital content.
Coursework is challenging and requires higher order thinking, being driven by texts that are unified around essential questions and universal ideas. The goal is that students develop the ability to interpret texts and authors’ points of view, be able to evaluate the quality of information and conduct meaningful original research, and to be able to incorporate the thoughts of others into their own writing and projects.

Chalk Talk: What Do Kindergarteners Learn in Math?
The Common Core Standards for Mathematics begin by describing that most of the instructional time in kindergarten math classes should be spent on numbers, which includes representing, relating, and using operations with whole numbers, starting with using objects to represent them. The other critical area for kindergarten math is a geometric component: describing shape and space. The overview for the standards for kindergarten is then listed. In counting and cardinality, they will know the names of the numbers and count sequentially, count to tell how many objects there are, and compare numbers. In operations and algebraic thinking, they will understand the concepts of addition and subtraction. With regards to number and operations in base 10, kindergarteners will obtain a foundation for place value by working with the numbers 11 to 19. In measurement and data, students will describe and compare measurements and classify objects and count the number of objects in each category. Finally, in geometry, they will identify and describe shapes, as well as analyze, compare, and create them.
