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:

Positivity Project (P2) - Superpowers in Action: Teamwork, Leadership & More!

Dear Families,

This week our school community will be celebrating our P2 Spirit Week, where we will highlight and recognize the character strengths that many superheroes demonstrate every day. Throughout the week, we will focus on qualities such as teamwork, integrity, self-control, bravery, and leadership and make connections between these strengths and their own actions both in and out of the classroom.

Our teachers will take time to revisit these important character strengths with students while also engaging them in meaningful project-based learning (PBL) activities within their classrooms. These experiences will help students see how these strengths can be applied in real-life situations and in our school community.

We’re excited to see our students embrace their inner superhero as they continue to grow as positive leaders and role models! ✨

 

Counselors Corner

Happy National Counselors Week

💙Our Counselors Say...💙

Dear Irvin Families,

As school counselors we want to take a moment to share how we support students through age-appropriate learning.

In support of student safety and wellness, the W.M. Irvin Student Services team will be teaching a classroom lesson that focuses on touch safety and child sexual abuse prevention. Across CCS schools, “A Child’s Choice,” which focuses on establishing safe boundaries and healthy responses, will be taught in 1st, 3rd and 5th grades. A letter containing additional information, opt-out procedures, will be sent home with your child.

If you would like to come in for additional information, we will hold an information session for parents on March 25th at 7:45am and a Spanish information session on March 26th at 7:45am. If you are unable to make the information sessions but have additional questions, please reach out to our school social worker at hayley.randle@cabarrus.k12.nc.us.
