North+Carolina+Standard+Course+of+Study

=This 2nd nine weeks of school, students are studying Earth & Environmental Sciences. Kindergarten, 2nd and 5th grades are studying Weather, 1st grade rocks, sand and silt, 3rd grade soil, and 4th grade rocks & minerals. You can access the Curricula, known as the Standard Course(s) of Study by going to= =[]. From there, you can go to each of the subjects that your child is studying in school, click on the appropriate grade level, and view the entire Standard Course of Study (SCOS) for the year. That is the information and the skills that your child should master by the end of his or her grade level. So if you have an overview of the whole year and the goals and objectives, it makes working towards achieving them a lot more attainable.=

=You can also access the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction from Wise Owl [] and explore a whole host of information and resources. One resource I like is the Week by Week Mathematics Essentials. I find that students who become proficient at mathematics develop more critical thinking, which helps them in other subject areas.=
