Transcript Welcome to Central School Curriculum Night

WHOSE CHILD IS THIS?
"Whose child is this?" I asked one day
Seeing a little one out at play
"Mine", said the parent with a tender smile
"Mine to keep a little while
To bathe his hands and comb his hair
To tell him what he is to wear
To prepare him that he may always be good
And each day do the things he should"
"Whose child is this?" I asked again
As the door opened and someone came in
"Mine", said the teacher with the same tender smile
"Mine, to keep just for a little while
To teach him how to be gentle and kind
To train and direct his dear little mind
To help him live by every rule
And get the best he can from school"
"Whose child is this?" I ask once more
Just as the little one entered the door
"Ours" said the parent and the teacher as they smiled
And each took the hand of the little child
"Ours to love and train together
Ours this blessed task forever."

Literature Autobiographies
In this unit, students study the concept of change by reading
autobiographies of writers and by looking at change in the lives of writers
and other artists. As they examine life stories and self-portraits, they
study literature and examine works of art from various cultures. In order to
gain insight into the development of talent, students are encouraged to
explore their own identities as talented learners through discussions,
research, oral presentations, and reflective writing. Autobiographical
writings from authors including Beverly Cleary, Eloise Greenfield, Isaac
Singer, and Lawrence Yep are explored.

Skills Jacob’s Ladder
Intended as a supplement to the William & Mary language arts
units, Jacob's Ladder targets reading comprehension skills in high ability
learners. In the form of three skill ladders connected to individual readings
in poetry, myths/fables, and nonfiction, students move from lower order,
concrete thinking skills to higher order, critical thinking skills. For example,
Ladder A moves students from Sequencing to Cause and Effect to
Consequences and Implications.
