Welcome to
the Center for Knowledge!
Since 1997, we have provided a
small community setting that enables students to develop close
bonds with fellow students, teachers and parents. Character
building is stressed in and out of the classroom, and by partnerships
with other grade levels and weekly meetings of the student body.
Cultural literacy is taught with
E. D. Hirsch's Core Knowledge sequence. Five areas
are stressed within this curriculum: language arts, geography
coupled with world civilization and American civilization, math, fine
arts and natural sciences. This core knowledge sequence is in
addition to the district curriculum. A special emphasis is placed
on the history of the subjects.
We believe that it is vital to
work with families to strengthen the character development in
students. Each month our school focuses on a different character
trait. This is done through school meetings where guest speakers
speak on the traits of focus and students participate in skits, songs,
poetry and other dramatizations that depict the character trait being
taught.
We have a full year planned; we
look forward to providing students many opportunities and challenges.
If you have any questions,
please feel free to contact me by phone at 699-2966 or by e-mail at jhall@richland2.org.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jo Lane P. Hall, Lead Teacher
