Example Of A Reading Guide For Fourth Grade

Announcements PWCS History and Social Science Curriculum Documents PWCS provides students with a guaranteed, viable curriculum in history and the social sciences in grades K-12. By clicking on menu to the right, students, parents, and teachers will find documents that clearly articulate what students are to know and be able to do as a result of their work in social studies classes. These documents represent a minimum standard. Most courses far exceed these basic standards. Curriculum Overviews Parents and students can easily understand what topics will be studied in each grade level by reviewing these documents. In addition to the basic course content and skills, these documents can be used to select outside readings and to plan family field trips to enhance and enrich what students are learning in class. Curriculum Frameworks These documents contain the minimum expectations for the content and skills PWCS teachers are required to teach our students.

Most teachers' lessons will exceed these standards. Parents and students are guaranteed that their students will receive instruction that meets or exceeds what is contained in this document. Suggested Pacing Guides These documents provide teachers with a recommended sequence and duration of instruction in the required course content. Following the suggested pace will ensure that students are exposed to all of the standards they are required to study prior to their SOL test and/or exams. Professional teachers may decide to deviate from the suggested pace to meet the needs of their students, but significant deviations should be made with the knowledge and approval of their supervising administrator and the rationale should be clearly communicated to parents. If a parent has a concern about instructional pacing, they should always feel free to contact their child's teacher with their questions.
