Curriculum

Arts & Letters Logo

Arts & Letters!!

In Module 3 of Arts & Letters, students in grades 2–5 are building strong reading, writing, and thinking skills by exploring meaningful texts and sharing their ideas about what they read.
Throughout the module, students:
  • Read engaging stories and informational texts
  • Talk about characters, ideas, and important details
  • Practice using evidence from the text to explain their thinking
  • Learn new vocabulary and strengthen reading comprehension
Across the three units, students grow more confident in:
  • Understanding grade-level texts
  • Sharing ideas during class discussions
  • Writing clear responses about what they read
By the end of Module 3, students are better prepared to think critically, express their ideas clearly, and connect what they read to the world around them. These skills help set the foundation for future learning across all subjects.

To keep the learning going beyond the classroom, here are some grade-level tips for families to support and extend learning at home:

Tips for Families (english/spanish included)
STEM Can Project

STEM News:

We are excited to host a career day for our fourth and fifth grade students this year! We would love for parent volunteers to come in and talk to our students about your profession, along with the education and/or training you received. We will have volunteers set up booth style around the cafeteria. Feel free to bring school appropriate props to help explain your career. If you are interested in volunteering, please fill out this form and someone from the school will contact you with more details! Career day will take place March 4th, from 8:30-10:30am.

We are still collecting canned goods, paper towel rolls and toilet paper rolls outside the Robotics Lab! Please donate, if you can!  

--------------------------------------------------------------

STEM Builds the Future: 1 Can at a Time
We are excited to partner with 1Can and the Cabarrus County Education Foundation (CCEF) for an upcoming Canned Food Art Challenge. Families are invited to donate canned goods that students will use to create collaborative art designs. Once the challenge is complete, all donated cans will be given to 1Can, who will distribute them to local food banks and people in need. This is a meaningful way for students to combine creativity, teamwork, and service while supporting families in our community. Thank you for helping us make a positive impact!

Positivity Project (P2) - Spiral Review

Dear Families,

This week, our school community will have a spiral review week. Spiral Review Weeks are built into our annual calendar and provide our teachers with three options: 1) complete weekly lessons for any character strength previously missed on the calendar; 2) spiral back to strengths taught this year by selecting from a cache of lessons designed to deepen understanding and take learning to the next level; or 3) try out a new Scripted Project Based Learning unit.

Character Strengths to Review:
Optimism
Prudence
Social Intelligence
OPM – Supporting Others
Kindness

Thank you for your support!
