Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Whitman District Curriculum
As per the Common Core Standards, reading is broken down into text complexity and comprehension, writing, speaking and listening, and language. The expected student outcomes for each of these categories and grade levels are listed. Elementary math is divided into counting and cardinality, operations and algebraic thinking, number and operations in base ten, measurement and data, statistics and probability, and geometry. For each grade level, there is a main theme from which learning stems for social studies (for example, students learn about “living, learning, and working together” for kindergarten and “Massachusetts and its cities and towns” for third grade).
Elementary and middle school science is categorized by earth and space, life sciences, physical science, technology and engineering, and inquiry. Inquiry includes asking questions, making predictions, recording data, and sharing results. In this Curriculum Blueprint, the high school standards are primarily categorized by specific courses.

Chalk Talk: The Components of Fluency
Although many people think of fluency as reading quickly, rate is only one aspect of what it means to read fluently. Children can read fast but fail to comprehend what they read; in this case, they were not reading fluently. Students should read with accuracy and with automaticity, meaning that they can recognize words without hesitation and without the need to decode them. Although beginning readers will sound out a lot of words, they will eventually have to recall words automatically or else their reading will be choppy, and they will have difficulty comprehending the whole passage or story. The expression students use when reading is also a very important when it comes to fluency. They need to be able to read with proper pitch and phrasing; these things are referred to as prosody. It is not only about speed when reading!
