California's Common Core State Standards (CCSS) guide what your child learns in the core subjects of reading, writing, and math. Beyond CSSS, there are California standards for all other subject areas including science, physical education, social studies, and visual and performing arts. Like a roadmap for your child's education, standards outline what will be taught through our adopted curriculum and learning activities.
English Language Arts: Wonders (Grades TK-5), StudySync (Grade 6)
Mathematics: Everyday Math (Grades TK-5), CPM (Grade 6)
Science: Twig (Grades TK-5), TCI: Bring Science Alive! (Grade 6)
Social Studies: myWorld Interactive (Grades TK-5), TCI: History Alive! The Ancient World (Grade 6)
We believe all students have value, infinite potential and the right to an excellent education. We offer a variety of programs to ensure all scholars can succeed. Whether you’re an English language learner, a student who requires academic intervention, or an advanced learner, we strive to support all students as they reach their full potential. Additionally, our special education team offers individualized instruction for students with unique learning needs. Our multi-tiered approach ensures every student has the opportunity to thrive.
At Penngrove School, we believe that learning can happen anywhere at any time! As a staff, we feel strongly that students benefit from 20-30 minutes a night of reading (either independently or to a family member) and we ask that as parents, you make sure this is a priority each and every evening in your home. Additionally, students may sometimes be asked to complete a small amount of math homework in an effort to solidify the understanding of mathematical facts, fact families, and numerical relationships. With this being said, we also want to grant each family the permission to be human. We know that life happens and things come up (family celebrations, sporting events, hectic schedules) and we want to work with your family during these times. Please be in communication with your child’s teacher during such times. Our goal with homework (whether optional or assigned) is always to prepare students for meaningful learning experiences and a strong set of study skills. Thank you for you partnership!
