Cameron's Academic Programs |
|
To achieve our mission of ensuring that all Cameron graduates are college-bound, we offer an abundance of different curriculum choices aimed at giving our students a rich and engaging opportunity to learn in all areas of study!
READING/LITERACY: All K-8th grade Cameron students receive 90-150 minutes of "Balanced Literacy" instruction daily. "Balanced Literacy" means that students are taught all of the pieces that make us great readers and writers. Students read a variety of texts including a ton of nonfiction!
MATH: Beginning in 1st grade, Cameron students receive 90 minutes of daily Math instruction designed to teach problem-solving and critical thinking. Kindergarten through 5th grade students use Go Math! which promotes applying math to real life situations. 6th-8th graders use the very challenging Connected Math Program 4 which pushes students to understand why math works the way that it does. Advanced 8th graders can test into the high school level 8th Grade Algebra class as well!
SCIENCE: As we transition to the new NGSS national Science standards, all K-8th students receive regular hands-on Science instruction. Beginning in 5th grade, students receive 75+ minutes of daily Science instruction.
SOCIAL STUDIES: Students study a variety of social studies topics and complete projects in their homerooms and in a special Enrichment class.
ENRICHMENT: We offer Pre-K through 8th grade students a variety of Enrichment classes including Instrumental Music, Visual Arts, Social Studies, Computer Technology, and Physical Education!
MTSS: The Cameron staff refuses to watch students struggle without providing as much support as possible. We use a variety of methods to provide students with academic and social-emotional supports.
