The Curriculum Reports 2007-2008

The curriculum report is sent out by class to each Miquon family after the school year ends. It is a retrospective document, not a set of lesson plans. Teachers communicate their intentions and goals to parents in many ways during the school year through group meetings, individual conversations, and classroom newsletters. The curriculum report is the teachers' review of the entire year, looking back and making observations after their plans, projects, problems, and revelations are long over.

Among the purposes that it fulfills, this document provids a context in which the individual year-end reports about each child can be interpreted. Although most Miquon families choose to read their own children's reports and the specialists' documents first, we urge you to find time to read all of the sections. By enjoying the full view of our school from nursery through sixth grade, families can re-acquaint themselves with their children's experiences and anticipate the kinds of things that are to come.

One of the distinguishing features of this report is the great extent to which each teacher's style, focus, and personality come through in this retrospective narrative.
