North Carolina's NEW Curriculum

Yes, it's true!  North Carolina is adopting a new curriculum.  If you have had children already go through public schools, you will notice some changes in what your child is learning in 1st grade next year. The NCPTA has created a brochure that explains this change.  You can download it here.  Most of what is being taught in schools now will remain a part of the curriculum but may be moved to a different grade level for instruction.  You will also notice a shift in how students will be expected to justify and explain their predictions and judgments about a topic.  Students will be expected to demonstrate a deeper understanding of concepts and read more non-fiction texts.
