Common Core Standards Information

There are excellent Parent Handbooks for the new Common Core Curriculum.  These Parent Handbooks are available in both English and Spanish.  We are now using the Common Core Standards for our academic programs at all our five schools in the Corning Union Elementary School District. 

Accelerated Reader Quizzes - Maywood Middle School

Our Maywood Middle School, Grades 6-8, has 7,259 Accelerated Reader (AR) Quizzes for our students to use. Our collection of AR quizzes includes books with AR reading levels from 3 to 12.

Parents and students can use the online database of our AR Quizzes. They can search for AR Quizzes by author, title, subject, AR reading level, AR points, fiction and non-fiction, and by reading interest levels.

Our Maywood Middle School Library has all books with AR Quizzes marked on the inside and outside of the book.

Reading - Houghton Mifflin

I noticed on Kevin Mathiesen's webpage a link to Kid's Place Houghton Mifflin Reading.

You click on the grade level button for 1st to 6th grade, and enter tutorials for reading lessons. There is a word game for each lesson, vocabulary, and author information. These activities are, of course, keyed to chapters in the Houghton Mifflin reading textbooks used at our schools.

The graphics display of the games is simple, small, and left justified. They should work on anyone's screen - even for those on dial up connections with small screens.

Education Place

Students should visit the Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Education Place online.

Learning to Write - Penmanship

"Mike,

Not sure if I have the right contact, but I just wanted to let you know that, as an Elementary school teacher, I have been using your page with information on writing and other alphabet activities (First Grade Curriculum Resources) . It's been helpful...thank you for making it!

Here's another good page that I've bookmarked and have been suggesting to my kids:

Pick Up the Pen: Learning to Write


It's a great reference, covering handwriting skills, alphabet activities, printable worksheets and other lesson plans. I thought you and your visitors might find it useful. Hope you like it!

Have a great October!"

Thanks to Sarah Hanson
