CURRICULUM: Every Day, Every Lesson = 1 piece

Teachers have planned instruction and curriculum based on grade level expectations, IB units, and state standards. Most lessons and concepts build upon each other like building blocks or a jig-saw puzzle. When students stay home they miss out on collaboration, rich discussions, hands-on investigations, interaction with peers, academic, thinking, social, self-management and research skill development. Attend school, on-time, every day! Sleep, eat a good breakfast, and come prepared.
