WOH For Tues. Sept. 25, 2018

Why should I go to Curriculum Night tonight? By Jennifer Neafcy, Kindergarten Teacher

 

Each year, as the school year begins, I look forward to two special evenings with our families. The first one is Back-to-School Night where we get to spend time with all of you in fellowship and getting to know one another. I love watching connections being made with one another as we prepare for the beginning of the school year.

 

Now that we are three weeks into our school year, the second special evening is happening tonight for parents in grades K-8: Curriculum Night. Curriculum Night gives you an opportunity to really explore and ask questions about the curriculum used at each grade level. Our staff is excited to share this evening with you.

 

In order to keep current with best practices in education, Hope has a curriculum review cycle in place. This gives us an opportunity to review the curriculum used regularly and to make sure that it continues to meet state standards and the needs of our students. This year, we have implemented the Journeys literacy program for grades K-5. This is a comprehensive literacy program that allows the teachers to target the needs of all students.

 

Curriculum Night begins at 7:00pm tonight in the Hope Church Sanctuary. Please join us for a school-wide presentation and the introduction of staff. Two classroom sessions will follow. Middle school families will remain in the sanctuary for the first session while K-5 families will be dismissed to the classrooms. During the second session, all of the families will visit classrooms. We look forward to seeing you tonight!
