Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Walnut Grove District Curriculum
In the elementary curriculum, students are introduced to the fundamentals in each core subject. As they progress to middle school, the courses take on a greater focus on practical applications and critical analysis. When students transition from middle to high school, they are expected to be prepared for an even more focused learning experience with full year classes on topics previously introduced in a brief unit of study. This allows for students to conduct the analytic exploration of topics that marks a high level of proficiency in the subject.
The high school science curriculum allows in-depth study in topics like biology, chemistry and physics. In chemistry, the properties of compounds are introduced, with learners acquiring the ability to differentiate between polar and nonpolar molecules. Atomic and molecular models are used to explain basic chemical reactions as well. Students learn about solutions as well, gaining an understanding of solutes, solvents, and solubility. In biology, the components of heredity are explored and students learn about cellular genetics and mutations, and how each influences the genes passed on to offspring. Students also look at the structure and function of DNA cells.

Chalk Talk: Early Literacy Development
Literacy development is a cornerstone of the elementary curriculum with the goal of providing students the building blocks to become independent, critical readers and communicators. Kindergarten is spent explicitly teaching and learning foundational skills such as print concepts, blending sounds, recognizing letters and sounds, and decoding words. They engage in meaningful literacy tasks and group activities that foster a literate community which cultivates risk taking and shared meaning. Students engage in activity-based literacy centers and participate in writer’s workshops during which they are encouraged to draw, speak, and write about topics that interest them. Students are exposed to the daily writer’s workshops through their fifth grade year; they eventually write nonfiction and fictional stories, opinion pieces, and research papers. By second grade, students are expected to read grade-level texts fluently, with the proper expression, rate, and accuracy. As students move forward, they are reading chapter books and non-fiction for information, and are on their way to a life of reading.
