Dear ES Parents,
We are pleased to announce the release of the all-new SuperUnit Brochures! These brochures are distributed to parents at the beginning of a SuperUnit. The purpose of the brochures is to help parents better understand our curriculum and support their children during each SuperUnit. Each brochure contains the following information:
- The grade level of the SuperUnit
- The title of the SuperUnit
- The Theme for the SuperUnit
- The Driving Question and/or Enduring Understanding of the SuperUnit
- Highlights of the Learning Experiences (such as the launch, field trips, guest speakers, project, Core Values, and Celebration)
- Focus on Learning by Subject (including science, social studies, English, math, art, music, PE, Vietnamese, Library, etc.)
- Questions to ask your child
- Home Learning ideas
- Suggested home extensions
- Key vocabulary that may be used during the unit
- A roadmap, or timeline, for the unit
The first round of brochures went home to all parents in grades K-5. Next year, our plan will be that every grade receives a SuperUnit brochure before each of the four SuperUnits. We hope you find the SuperUnit brochures helpful.
Sincerely,
Daniel J. Keller, PhD
Elementary School Principal
