Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Summerville District Curriculum
In Language Arts, students learn to distinguish points of view, analyze the meaning of words using Greek or Latin parts, use context to restate or understand an unknown word, use planning strategies to organize writing, write book reviews and newsletter articles, and can find information on a topic of interest and restate the information in their own words. High school students write essays, memoirs, poems, technical pieces, career-oriented pieces, and speeches. They can design and present research projects using a variety of sources.
In Math, by Grade 5, students can add and subtract fractions, determine symmetry, use a protractor, and analyze how the way that data is collected affects the data set. Math instruction builds to Pre-calculus and Probability and Statistics in Grade 12. In Elementary Science, students study plants and animals, weather, matter, and forces and motion. By Grade 5, they can generate research questions and hypotheses, have used a technological design process to create a solution or product, and can use tools and instruments when conducting an investigation. Later topics include ecology, human systems, and chemistry and physics.

Chalk Talk: How to Help Your Child With Word Problems
For some children, word problems are easier than rote practice, but for other children a word problem is a tough challenge. If your child is having trouble with word problems in math, here are a couple things you can do:
Encourage the child to read the problem aloud. Reading sometimes feels out of place in a math assignment; the act of reading aloud ensures that your child doesn’t miss valuable clues. “More than,” “take away,” and “share” are common words in elementary word problems. Practice showing these ideas to your child with drawings or gestures.
Sometimes drawing helps. Ask your child to draw a diagram to represent the problem. This process can have many benefits. For kinesthetic or visual learners, this may be the ideal way to pose a problem. Sometimes, the drawing will trigger a memory of the lesson as it was drawn on the chalkboard. And taking the time to draw the picture helps your child think through the details of the problem.
