Curriculum Night at Elementary Schools

It might be nighttime, but parents are learning what students do all day at Clayton County Public Schools. Elementary schools hosted curriculum nights to introduce parents to ways enhance their children’s learning experience at the elementary and middle school level.

Parents and students at Oliver, Suder, and West Clayton Elementary chose a variety of ways to introduce standards to parents at the nighttime events.  Oliver held a Math Make-it, Take-it event which introduced counting, operations, geometric shapes and fractional parts to students from kindergarten to fifth grade level. Suder parents were treated to a carnival atmosphere with activities based on the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS) in math and science. West Clayton Elementary parents traveled on a passport to literacy with a variety of games that reinforced math and language arts skills for pre-kindergarteners and beyond. Parents enjoyed the events and the opportunity to participate in instructional activities.

The affairs featured were arranged by Oliver ES Math Coach Freda Jackson;  Suder  ES Literacy Coach Elta Shoemaker and Math Coach Angela Hutton ; and West Clayton ES Literacy Coach Shavon Beckett  and Math Coach Tiffany Campbell.
