The Kindergarten Program, as described in Early Beginnings: A Kindergarten Curriculum Guide, is designed to support the intellectual, physical, social, emotional, spiritual, and moral development of the four- and five-year-old child. Inherent in the Kindergarten Program is the recognition that children are individuals, every child is unique and the diverse needs and developmental levels of children can be accommodated through developmentally appropriate practices. The Kindergarten Program provides for integrated and discrete learning in: language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, art, music, health, physical education, and religious education. Kindergarten experiences must lay the foundation for future learning by: • creating a love of learning • helping children become more effective problem solvers, • • • • • • KinderStart PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009 observers, listeners, speakers, and thinkers in a language-rich environment helping children gain increasing independence through exploring, questioning, and understanding providing for a balance of child-centred and teacher-directed experiences providing for meaningful and appropriate curriculum connections facilitating the development of the skills and concepts necessary to experience success supporting the development of a positive self concept supporting the involvement of parents The KinderStart Program is a provincial transition-to-school orientation program for children and their parents/caregivers. The objective of the program is to help all children and their families connect with the school and to provide resources for them to use at home during the pre-kindergarten year. The program is based on developmentally appropriate practices for the pre-kindergarten child and consists of eight in-school sessions and accompanying information for principals, parents/caregivers and teachers. An activity bag of supplies and resources is provided for each parent/ caregiver and child. 7 KINDERGARTEN Authorized Learning Resources KinderStart materials that have been provided to kindergarten teachers (one set per teacher) include: 2002-2003 Binder and KinderStart Guide Alphabet puzzle Number puzzle Read and Succeed CD Video - Videos Three: Speak, Hear, See, one per school Video - Literacy Connections, one per school KinderStart certificate for each child 2003-2004 Mother Goose Keepsake Collection CD of children's songs KinderStart certificate for each child 2004-2005 • Thin color tiles (package of 400) • KinderStart certificate for each child 2005-2006 Count and sort colossal buttons (package of 100) Dinosaur identification poster KinderStart certificate for each child 2006-2007 Two giant foam dice (one with dots, one with numbers) Package of 49 jumbo foam pattern blocks Zig-zag: Zoems for Zindergarten by Loris Lesynski (one copy) The Shape of Things by Dayle Ann Dodds (one copy) The Teddy Bear by David McPhail (one copy) KinderStart certificate for each child 2007-2008 1 box of foam Geometric Solids 1 package of Overhead Pattern Blocks containing an Activity/ Teaching Sheet Ten Little Fish (book) Jessica (book) ZIG ZAG (book) Counters (package of 10 soft rubber Tropical Fish) KinderStart certificate for each child 8 PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009 KINDERGARTEN 2008-2009 The House in the Meadow by Shutta Crum (book) Zig Zag by Loris Lesynski (book) Owen by Kevin Henkes (book) Straws & Connectors, with activity suggestions (230 piece package - 130 straws/100 connectors) 1 package of 60 tropical fish counters – a resource to support Ten Little Fish, supplied for the 2007/2008 KinderStart program Ideas for Using KinderStart Learning Materials at Home Play Counts – Enjoy mathematics with your child (math pamphlet) “Mathematics Activities to Accompany Manipulatives and Children’s Literature Provided For KinderStart” (prepared by Rita Janes) “Young Children and Mathematics Eager to Learn ?

The theme provides opportunities for students to discover the nature of observing special events and the connection to a living belief system’s traditions. Commemorating special celebrations is important for many belief systems because they enable communities to share their unique qualities. This aspect of celebrations is the focus for the Kindergarten program in Religious Education.

(resource kit with CD, teacher’s resource, visuals, and puppets) The Beginner’s Bible (2005) The role of science in the Kindergarten Program is to stimulate interest in science, to encourage observation using all the senses, to develop the rudiments of classification, to stimulate children’s natural desire to investigate their environment, and to clarify concepts. Early Beginnings: A Kindergarten Curriculum Guide Pan-Canadian Science Place: My World Classroom Kit (2002) PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009 KINDERGARTEN Social Studies/ Enterprise Education The Social Studies and Enterprise Education curricula at the Kindergarten level are organized around the concept of "connections". Children will examine: • connections to their identity by further developing an awareness of self and others • connections to their roots by exploring how they are connected to family • connections to place by developing an awareness that they live in a particular community and that there are other communities in their province, country, and world.

While 40% of instructional time in the kindergarten school year is identified for language arts and 30% for mathematics and science, at least 5% of the time allotment for language arts as well as 5% of the time allotment for mathematics would be achieved while teaching the other subject areas. In other words, teachers also teach language arts and mathematics outcomes during the 40% of instructional time allocated to social studies, religious education, health, art, music, and physical education. In the types of cross-curricular approaches followed in kindergarten classrooms, language arts and mathematics outcomes are often integrated into the teaching of other subject areas. Similarly, outcomes of various subject areas are frequently integrated into the teaching of language arts and mathematics. PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009 15 KINDERGARTEN Organizational and instructional strategies employed by kindergarten teachers (e.g., integrated learning experiences, learning centres, blocked-time approach to scheduling) make it difficult to determine exact percentages of time spent on the various curriculum areas. Thus, the time allotments recommended above should be viewed as approximations. Multi-age Classrooms 16 Time allotments for multi-age classrooms are the same as those recommended for single-grade classrooms. Organizational and instructional strategies, which are helpful in multi-age classrooms, include interdisciplinary learning, use of learning centres, peer tutoring, and block scheduling. PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009 PRIMARY Primary Program PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009 17 PRIMARY 18 PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009 PRIMARY Primary In Newfoundland and Labrador, children in Grades 1, 2, and 3 are enroled in the Province’s primary schools. The primary school curriculum is designed to develop fundamental knowledge, skills, and values. The curriculum is a differentiated one with prescribed content and core outcomes in: English language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, French, music, art, physical education, health, and religious education. The focus of the primary school is on the growth and development of the learner (intellectually, socially, emotionally, spiritually, and physically). The overall method of instruction is activity-inquiry, a hands-on, minds-on approach to learning that helps children meet each learning situation in such a way that it will have meaning for them. Making connections and developing abilities across subject areas is one way of enhancing children’s understanding of concepts, values, and skills. However, there is an expectation that student achievement at the primary level will result from a combination of discrete and connected teaching/ learning experiences. The primary school is a learning environment sensitive to each child’s needs and developmental level. It recognizes that each child is a worthwhile individual with potential for growth and development. In the primary school, parents and educators are partners in the child’s education. Art Artistic process, analysis, reflection, exploration, and the production of various forms of art comprise the allocated instructional time. The language and concepts of the fundamental elements and principles of design are the integral aspects of the primary Art curriculum. Students explore the design elements of line, shape, form, space, colour, texture, and value and the principles of rhythm, movement, pattern, repetition, contrast, balance, emphasis, and unity. Students investigate the vital creative process and assess their artistic products and those of others. The Art curriculum reflects the interests of the primary learner and topics that are pertinent to their needs. The new learning resources offer a variety of children’s and professional artists’ art making experiences and reflections that are organized around universal themes relevant to students’ daily lives. Students are presented with many opportunities to respond to art in a variety of contexts through exploration of the cultural heritage and identities of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, and the world. PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009 19 PRIMARY Primary Art outcomes are organized around the following strands: • Creating and Producing (Making) • Cultural and Historical (Looking) • Critical and Responsive (Reflecting) Authorized Learning Resources A Curriculum Guide from Primary Art: Interim Edition, 2007 Art: A Curriculum and Teaching Guide for the Primary and Elementary Grades Grade 1 Explorations Explorations Explorations Explorations in in in in Art: Art: Art: Art: Teacher Guide, 2008 Student Text, 2008 Large Art Reproductions, 2008 Big Art Book, 2008 Grade 2 Explorations in Art: Teacher Guide, 2008 Explorations in Art: Student Text, 2008 Explorations in Art: Large Art Reproductions, 2008 Explorations in Art: Big Art Book, 2008 Art in Action, 2 teacher manual [out of print], 1987 Art in Action, 2 student text, 1987 Grade 3 Explorations in Art: Teacher Guide, 2008 Explorations in Art: Student Text, 2008 Explorations in Art: Large Art Reproductions, 2008 Art in Action, 3 teacher manual [out of print], 1987 Art in Action, 3 student text, 1987 Core French 20 The recognized starting point for Core French is Grade 4; however, schools may offer Core French from Grade 1 to Grade 3. The Department of Education will support school-initiated primary Core French programs that meet specific criteria. These criteria have been adopted to encourage schools and school districts to implement well-articulated French programs. School districts seeking departmental support for primary Core French should submit proposals to the Core French Program Development Specialist at the Department of Education. Proposals should be received by January 31 to allow processing for the new school year. PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009 PRIMARY Proposals will be evaluated in accordance with the following criteria: Personnel - Teachers should have the following qualifications and experience or their equivalent: • Education - a degree with specialization in primary or elementary education. • Proficiency in French - eight semester courses in French and a recognized six-week course at a francophone institution. • Teaching French as a Second Language - one course in the theory and methods of the primary or elementary grades. • Teaching Experience - two years minimum, preferably in the primary grades. Purpose - Schools should implement primary Core French with the intention of preparing students for more intensive French programs, such as Intensive Core French, Expanded Core French, or Late French Immersion. Articulation - Schools should plan an instructional sequence for Grades 1-6 that provides for the systematic development and use of language skills and the development of linguistic knowledge. Scheduling - In Grades 1-3, children should have a daily French period of at least twenty minutes. The general timetable of each class should accompany a proposal. The optional Primary Core French Program promotes listening comprehension, encourages oral production, fosters positive attitudes towards learning French, and introduces French culture. Content is drawn from the children’s world, their knowledge of themselves and their experience of their immediate surroundings. Specific topics include clothing, numbers, colours, animals, seasons, sports, holidays, and birthdays. The topics are presented directly in French and provide the context for practise of the language. The program includes a variety of activities, ranging from those primarily linguistic (comprehension, pronunciation, and repetition) to those involving reinforcement and use of French (singing, games, and colouring). The class should progress from a teacher-directed presentation of new content to student-centred practice and use. English Language Arts PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009 The Primary English Language Arts curriculum specifies that language is the principal means through which we formulate thought and the medium through which we communicate 21 PRIMARY thought with others. Thus, language in use underlies the processes of thinking involved in listening, speaking, reading, viewing, writing and other ways of representing. The curriculum recommends that English Language Arts be taught in an integrated manner so that primary children will become aware of the interrelationship that exists between and among the language processes. This integrated approach should be based on students’ prior experiences with language and on meaningful activities involving speaking, listening, reading, viewing, writing, and other ways of representing. The Primary English Language Arts curriculum places emphasis on the primary child as a learner in reading, writing, speaking, listening, viewing and other ways of representing meaning. Through an outcomes-oriented approach, the curriculum provides support for teachers in planning for focused instructional and assessment strategies that meet the needs of primary children. Inherent in the curriculum is the recognition that development in reading, viewing, speaking, listening, writing and other ways of representing is a continuous process and children need to be supported along that continuum. There is an emphasis on oral language in the Primary English Language Arts curriculum, where the primary child’s speaking and listening development becomes a primary focus of instruction, and oral language becomes the cornerstone of successful experiences with reading and writing. It is accepted that primary children will be at different stages along a continuum in speaking and listening as they would be in reading and writing. Support is provided for the child’s oral language development in the context of the total language arts curriculum. Development in reading and viewing as active processes of constructing meaning from a range of texts (including print, film, television) involves the constant interaction between the reader/ viewer and the text. As readers and viewers interact with text, they use the strategies of sampling, predicting, confirming and self correcting. This complex process requires the integration and coordination of four cueing systems or sources of information: pragmatic, semantic, syntactic and graphophonic. It is necessary to support the expansion of children’s experiences through extending the classroom environment beyond the walls of the classroom and through using quality children’s literature. In the Primary English Language Arts curriculum children use writing and other ways of representing meaning: to explore, construct, and convey meaning; to clarify and reflect on their thoughts; and to use their imaginations. To become skilled in 22 PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009 PRIMARY these processes, children need frequent opportunities to use writing and other ways of representing for various purposes and audiences. Development in these processes is supported along a continuum where the child’s level of achievement becomes the starting point for moving forward.

The development of fundamental Motor skills and movements is the foundation for activities. Specific Curriculum Outcomes and Movement Categories Primary Physical Education specific curriculum outcomes address the three dimensions of Movement - Psychomotor (Moving and Doing), Cognitive (Understanding and Applying) and Affective (Cooperation and Responsibility) 32 PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009 PRIMARY Students will: • learn and develop fundamental movement skills and movement concepts that have broad application to a variety of games, activities and movements. • engage in movement experiences that address all three dimensions of movement: - Moving and Doing physical education experiences contribute to development of physical fitness, physical skills necessary for an active lifestyle, and appreciation for the intrinsic value of an active lifestyle. - Understanding and Applying physical education experiences gives students understanding of movement and its place in their personal quest for wellness through an active life style. - Cooperation and Responsibility physical education experiences gives students opportunities to understand the social and environmental context in which they live, to develop personal strategies to live in harmony within that context, and to appropriately work toward changes where there is a need. Highlights • This curriculum is based on the need for children to develop personal wellness through Active Living and to develop and understand personal movement skills in order to be able to continue with an active lifestyle throughout life. • The need to develop personal critical thinking abilities and apply them to solving movement and societal problems, which affect opportunities to continue an active lifestyle, are also addressed. • To accomplish this, a broad range of movement activities are employed in nine movement themes. Each theme provides opportunities for students to participate in movement activities, experiment with movement techniques, develop games, rules and strategies, help others, and plan demonstrations or activities for the benefit of others. • Students will also reflect on the purpose of Active Living and evaluate the effectiveness of various activities for their intended purpose.

PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009 35 PRIMARY Social Studies/ Enterprise Education The overall goal of the Social Studies and Enterprise Education curricula is to promote personal growth and to develop the values and skills essential for effective citizenship. Social Studies and Enterprise Education for the primary grades are designed around conceptual organizers. The conceptual organizer for Grade 1 is "interactions". The curriculum provides children with an opportunity to explore the various ways people interact among themselves and with the world around them. They will consider how interactions have changed over time, locally, nationally, and globally. During the year, they will explore interactions through four units: Groups, The Environment, Place and Time, and Needs and Wants. The organizing concept for Grade 2 is "change". An understanding of change contributes to the development of students as citizens of their community, their country, and the world. Students will develop an awareness and confidence that change is very much a part of their lives. They will explore change as it relates to people, technology, economics, and the environment. Grade 3 is organized around the concept of “community”. Students examine how people in selected communities in the province and in the nation's capital interact with the physical environment and one another. They study how communities satisfy needs, develop, adapt and change over time.

This philosophy is reflected in the recommended time allotments for the primary grades. All subject areas make an important contribution to literacy and numeracy in the primary grades. While 40% of instructional time in the primary school year is identified for language arts and 30% for mathematics and science, at least 5% of the time allotment for language arts as well as 5% of the time allotment for mathematics would be achieved while teaching the other subject areas. In other words, teachers also teach language arts and mathematics outcomes during the 40% of instructional time allocated to social studies, religious education, health, art, music, and physical education. In the types of cross-curricular approaches followed in primary classrooms, language arts and mathematics outcomes are often integrated into the teaching of other subject areas. Similarly, outcomes of various subject areas are frequently integrated into the teaching of language arts and mathematics. Multi-age Classrooms PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009 Time allotments for multi-age classrooms are the same as those recommended for single-grade classrooms. Organizational and instructional strategies, which are helpful in multi-grade classrooms, include integrated teaching and learning experiences, learning centres, peer tutoring, and block scheduling. 37 PRIMARY 38 PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009 ELEMENTARY Elementary Program PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009 39 ELEMENTARY 40 PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009 ELEMENTARY Elementary In Newfoundland and Labrador, students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 are enroled in the Province’s elementary schools. The elementary curriculum is a differentiated curriculum with a prescribed content. Elementary school children have wide interests, are eager for information, and enjoy acquiring skills. They need a broad curriculum. The concepts, values, and skills of the curriculum for English language arts, enterprise education, mathematics, science, social studies, music, art, physical education, French, health, and religious education are within the grasp of most children of nine, ten, and eleven years of age. It is at this stage, middle childhood, that children acquire a strong foundation in basic school subjects. During the elementary years, children begin their initiation into the world of adult reasoning, concepts, communication, and symbolism; they start to master tasks requiring purpose and endeavour. The elementary school should provide a stimulating and challenging environment for students. Processes and procedures that make it possible for new interests to appear and new purposes to emerge must be used in the classroom. Grouping practices, the functional management of furniture, independent work activities, resource-based learning that emphasizes the child as a thinking, doing, and feeling learner are essential to elementary education. There is a close correlation between parents’ and teachers’ expectations and students’ self concepts, level of achievement, and behaviour. Teachers and parents should have high expectations for elementary school children and provide them with lots of encouragement and reinforcement. Art Art education at the elementary level is intended to be experiential and open-ended to permit the greatest flexibility to the student. The curriculum is designed to cultivate a love of art and sensitivity to the visual environment. It is designed to foster confidence in expression and develop basic skills in art making techniques and processes. The relationship between seeing and feeling is emphasized and an atmosphere in which visual creation is an everyday mode of expression is promoted. The elements of design [line, shape, form, colour, texture, space] and the principles of design [movement, repetition, balance, contrast, emphasis, unity] are explored as key elements to visual communication and in articulating a response to imagery. PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009 41 ELEMENTARY Through the Art curriculum students draw upon personal experience, physical, social, and cultural environments as the basis for visual expression. Visual literacy is developed through such activities as describing, comparing, classifying, matching, and manipulating. Sensory perception is emphasized through such activities as listening, touching, tasting, smelling, and moving. In addition to the creation of art objects, students learn to utilize images and graphics for identifying, discussing, and sharing information. The curriculum also has a strong verbal component through which students acquire art vocabulary, reinforce their visual perception, express their reactions to art and their environment, and exchange, modify, and develop ideas. The elementary Art curriculum is structured around the following organizers: • • • • • Authorized Learning Resources Artistic Process Visual Communication Cultural Role Personal Growth Perception and Response Art: A Curriculum and Teaching Guide for the Primary and Elementary Grades Grade 4 Art in Action, 4 teacher’s edition (out of print), 1987 Art in Action, 4 student text, 1987 Grade 5 Art in Action, 5 teacher’s edition (out of print), 1987 Art in Action, 5 student text, 1987 Grade 6 Art in Action, 6 teacher’s edition (out of print), 1987 Art in Action, 6 student text, 1987 Core French 42 Most students begin their second language learning in Core French in Grade 4. The Core French Program (Grade 4 - French 3200) is defined by outcomes at the end of each level: elementary, intermediate, and senior high. The skills and the content of each level provide the essential preparation for successful experiences at higher levels. The program primarily emphasizes the development of language skills and the understanding and use of vocabulary PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009 ELEMENTARY and language patterns in context. The Program also encourages the development of positive attitudes towards francophones. In Grades 4-6 language experiences are organized around familiar themes and are presented in French; direct comprehension of the language is a primary consideration. While approximately 80% of class time is devoted to aural-oral practice and use of French, students are provided with opportunities to read and write their new language.

Its implementation requires the allocation of additional resources to ensure the overall quality of the existing Core French curriculum and the success of the Intensive Core French option. - Organization of Intensive Core French: The Grade 6 schedule is modified to allocate a minimum of 60% of the instructional day during half of the school year to Intensive Core French. This is scheduled as an uninterrupted block of time in the school day. During the other half of the school year, Core French is included in the schedule and allocated the instructional time set out in this Program of Studies. - Staffing: Personnel are allocated to the Intensive Core French program to ensure maximum continuity in the intensive instructional block and maximum continuity and complementarity between the intensive block and the rest of the prescribed Grade 6 curriculum. Teachers assigned to Intensive Core French speak and write French with 44 PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009 ELEMENTARY - - - - - - PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009 confidence and accuracy and are selected on the basis of their training and experience with respect to the requirements of the Intensive Core French option. Prescribed Grade 6 Curriculum: Students in the Intensive Core French option must achieve the outcomes of the Grade 6 curriculum, as set out in this Program of Studies. Schools modify the instructional time for other prescribed Grade 6 curriculum areas to allocate 60% of the instructional day to Intensive Core French. This is done by scheduling selected curriculum areas during the other half of the school year only, and may entail less instructional time for particular areas. Curriculum areas compacted into half of the school year are chosen carefully on the basis of common (shared) or complementary outcomes to those in Intensive Core French. System-Wide Articulation: Students completing the Grade 6 Intensive Core French option make important gains in French language knowledge and skills as compared to the overall Grade 6 Core French cohort. Schools must commit to a long-range strategy in Grades 7-12 for these students to ensure they have opportunities to build on their French knowledge and skills in a challenging, appropriate French program. Student Inclusion: Intensive Core French offers Grade 6 students the opportunity to have an enhanced Core French experience in elementary school and beyond. Participation in the research phase of Intensive Core French indicated that it is an option for the broad range of learners. Professional Development: Participating schools and districts plan a professional development program to facilitate the implementation of an Intensive Core French curriculum. This includes the allocation of resources to ensure teachers participate in professional development sessions prior to assuming responsibility for teaching an Intensive Core French curriculum. Communications: Participating schools in a school system and districts establish a schools/community partnership with respect to the implementation of the Intensive Core French option. All members of a school staff need to know the purpose and benefits of Intensive Core French as do parents and the larger community. Community support is very important in contributing directly to the quality of the Intensive Core French curriculum and ensuring its overall success. Financial Considerations: Participating schools and districts commit resources to the implementation of Intensive Core French. Proposals obtaining approval in accordance with the criteria above are eligible for additional funding, subject to budgetary approval. 45 ELEMENTARY English Language Arts At the elementary level, the English Language Arts curriculum continues the philosophy and methodologies of the primary school English Language Arts. As such, the curriculum helps students increase their power over the language processes of reading, viewing, speaking, listening, writing and other ways of representing meaning. As they use and produce language, students are provided with the knowledge, experience, and pleasure that control of language makes possible. The curriculum also fosters students’ understanding of self and others and their appreciation of the crucial role of linguistic clarity in that understanding. English Language Arts, Grades 4-6, incorporates the use of students’ own experiences and oral language to produce print; the use of literature and a wide variety of trade books with appeal to students’ interest, needs and abilities; and the use of the authorized learning resources. All of these resources are used for instructional purposes to emphasize the how of speaking, listening, reading, viewing, writing and other ways of representing meaning. Students should be given many listening and speaking experiences which are not only intrinsically valuable, but which are an important requisite for writing and reading, and for learning in all subject areas. The curriculum provides for a balance of transactional, expressive and poetic writing. Students should write frequently during the language arts period and across subject areas, giving consideration to the form, purpose, and tone of the messages they wish to communicate. Instruction in sentence structure, spelling, handwriting, punctuation, and capitalization is provided within the context of students’ language experiences. Literature and a variety of information, visual and media texts, are used as tools for ensuring that students become lifelong readers and viewers, not just people who can read and view. Experiences with literature are, in addition to developing their knowledge and strategies, designed to expand their imagination and mature their emotions. Many grouping patterns - partnerships, small groups, whole class - should be used. Student journals, writing files, and reading and viewing progress files should be maintained. An assessment component that provides for ongoing monitoring of students’ language development is a critical part of the program.

The curriculum is learner-based and flexible, matching the teaching process to the child’s natural learning process. The music curriculum sequences the discovery of musical concepts and musical skills. Rhythm and metre, melody/pitch, harmony, form, expression (dynamics, tempo, articulation, tone colours, notations) are explored through direct engagement and involvement in suchauthentic musical experiences as: Performing - singing, playing, speaking, moving, conducting, reading, writing, constructing/diagraming Listening – aurally identifying, responding, discussing, analyzing, reflecting, describing Creating – creating, improvising, composing, interpreting Students may be engaged in all three simultaneously. 54 PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009 ELEMENTARY The curriculum approaches the realization of learning outcomes in a holistic way and puts an emphasis on • the creativity of the child; children are encouraged to invent their own ways of moving, accompaniments, speech and rhythm patterns, melodies, interpretations, dramatizations, and ways of notating • singing as the foundation of the K-6 program • the playing of pitched and non-pitched classroom instruments • movement experiences as an integral part of the program • engagement in musical experiences before the introduction of musical symbols (sound before symbol) • the development of musical literacy • varied musical experiences reflecting their own and other time periods, places, and communities • reflection and response as an integral part of the process of creating and performing Choral experiences, an integral part of the program, are to be offered along with the classroom program at the elementary level, but are not to replace allocated time for the core classroom program. The decision to introduce band and/or string programs is a district and school prerogative; see Intermediate Music for further information on instrumental music programs.

The development of fundamental Motor skills and movements is the foundation for activities. Specific Curriculum Outcomes and Movement Categories Elementary Physical Education specific curriculum outcomes address the three dimensions of Movement - Psychomotor (Moving and Doing), Cognitive (Understanding and Applying) and Affective (Cooperation and Responsibility) Students will: • learn and develop fundamental movement skills and movement concepts that have broad application to a variety of games, activities and movements. • engage in movement experiences that address all three dimensions of movement, Psychomotor (Moving and Doing), Cognitive (Understanding and Applying) and Affective (Cooperation and Responsibility) 56 PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009 ELEMENTARY - Moving and Doing physical education experiences contribute to development of physical fitness, physical skills necessary for an active lifestyle, and appreciation for the intrinsic value of an active lifestyle. - Understanding and Applying physical education experiences gives students understanding of movement and its place in their personal quest for wellness through an active life style. - Cooperation and Responsibility physical education experiences gives students opportunities to understand the social and environmental context in which they live, to develop personal strategies to live in harmony within that context, and to appropriately work toward changes where there is a need. Highlights • This curriculum is based on the need for children to develop personal wellness through Active Living and to develop and understand personal movement skills in order to be able to continue with an active lifestyle throughout life. • The need to develop personal critical thinking abilities and apply them to solving movement and societal problems, which affect opportunities to continue an active lifestyle, are also addressed in this program. • To accomplish this, a broad range of movement activities are employed in nine movement themes. Each theme provides opportunities for students to participate in movement activities, experiment with movement techniques, develop games, rules and strategies, help others, and plan demonstrations or activities for the benefit of others. • Students will also reflect on the purpose of Active Living and evaluate the effectiveness of various activities for their intended purpose.

Social Studies The Social Studies curriculum at the elementary level builds on the concepts, values, and skills acquired in the Primary Program. It develops knowledge, values, and skills essential for developing students’ potential as individuals, as Canadian citizens, and as world citizens. The Social Studies curriculum • examines how people interact with their physical environment and with each other in order to meet their needs. PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009 59 ELEMENTARY • develops the following skills: thinking skills; social/group participation skills; map and globe skills; table, graph, and chart skills; temporal skills; research skills; and language skills. • emphasizes the importance of human rights and responsibilities and encourages students to apply their knowledge and skills to everyday life.

The best and fullest development of young adolescents is the overall goal of intermediate school. The concepts, values, and skills of the curricula in English language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, music, industrial arts, technology education, art, physical education, French, health, home economics, and religious education are relevant to the interests and needs of twelve- to fifteen-year-olds. The program achieves balance by placing equal emphasis on the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains and by taking into consideration the wide range of individual differences in the intermediate school. In the intermediate grades, students consolidate skills for continued learning (e.g., communication and numeracy skills) and develop competence in decision making, leadership, self reliance and taking responsibility. Problem solving, discussion, group procedures, and strategies that promote independent thinking are the primary approaches to education in the intermediate school. Ongoing assessment and evaluation determine students’ remedial and enrichment needs. Early adolescence is a time of rapid physical growth, of intense desire for autonomy, of questioning, and of searching for values. Young adolescents need someone with whom they can talk over problems and work out solutions. The homeroom, where students spend a substantial amount of time with the same teacher every day, provides stability. Teachers and parents should have high expectations for young adolescents. They must believe that these students can learn, that they want to learn, and that the intermediate school is instrumental in meeting their learning needs. Art PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009 The Intermediate Art curriculum builds upon the two previous levels. Students are afforded increased opportunity to express their ideas and feelings through an emphasis on creating art images and objects. The curriculum focuses on developing an understanding of design in art and the visual environment. Students learn more sophisticated applications of design elements and principles and have opportunities to use this knowledge. 65 INTERMEDIATE The curriculum enlists the use of slides to provide illustrations of key art and design concepts at work. Students examine and analyze these images prior to engaging in art activities which focus on particular concepts. The curriculum emphasizes the work of artists from Newfoundland and Labrador. Over seventy percent of the artists whose works are included in the slide package have worked or are now working in this province. Students can avail of six modules over three years. These are Drawing, Painting, Sculpture, Printmaking, Folk Art, and Fibre Art. The curriculum is structured around the following organizers: • • • • • Authorized Learning Resources Career Exploration (Grade 9) 66 The Artistic Process Visual Communication Cultural Role Personal Growth Perception and Response Art 7-9 Teaching Guide Junior High Art Slide Kit which includes 20 slides per module (out of print) • Drawing (20 slides) • Painting (20 slides) • Printmaking (20 slides) • Sculpture (20 slides) • Fibre Art (20 slides) • Folk Art (20 slides) Discovering Canadian Art (class set) (out of print) Painting: Ideas, Materials and Processes (previously supplied, out of print) Relief Printmaking (previously supplied, out of print) Exploring Drawing (previously supplied, out of print) Keys to Drawing At the Grade 9 level, the Guidance Module, Career Exploration, is designed around the three stages of Career Development: self awareness, career exploration and career and educational planning. Students develop an understanding of self in relation to the world of work through the exploration of interests, abilities, aptitudes, needs and values. This self awareness assists students in developing educational plans.

Authorized Resources Coordinator’s guide Teacher’s resource Workplace guide Video Core French The Intermediate Core French curriculum is defined by outcomes at each grade level: 7, 8, and 9. It is organized to build on student experiences in the elementary French curriculum and to prepare students for the challenges of the senior high program. The primary purposes of intermediate Core French are development of proficiency in oral language and learning about the francophone way of life. In skill development, major emphasis is therefore accorded to listening and speaking; reading and writing are also important, serving to complement and reinforce listening and speaking. To ensure students have maximum opportunity to hear and use French, teachers should make it the language of the class, including all aspects of administration and operation, in addition to instruction. Students practise language in formal learning contexts and use it in functional learning contexts. Teachers should therefore ensure that students have appropriate language practice and content to meet their communication needs.

English language arts must be taught in an integrated manner so that the interrelationships between and among the language processes will be understood and applied by the students. This integrated approach should be based on PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009 INTERMEDIATE students’ prior experience with language and on meaningful activities involving speaking, listening, reading, viewing, writing and other ways of representing meaning. Experiences with literature are, in addition to developing their knowledge and strategies, designed to enhance students’ awareness of the richness of life, expand their imaginations, exercise their intellects, and mature their emotions. The curriculum provides for a balance of transactional, expressive and poetic writing. The conventions of language are taught in the context of students’ own writing and speaking. Students are expected to maintain a writing file of their work for assessment and reference purposes. The variety of resources for reading and viewing are intended to evoke personal responses, promote discussion and analysis of values and ideas, and consolidate their understanding of language, form and genre. A variety of interaction patterns - partnerships, small groups, whole class should be used.

Concepts learned in K-6 are reviewed, reinforced, and consolidated while new skills and knowledge are applied to a number of musical forms. Emphasis is placed on direct experiences with music and the integration of musical elements. A student’s understanding of basic concepts is enhanced through more advanced activities. Performing groups such as band, choir, orchestra or guitar and recorder ensembles, are recognized as components of the curriculum. The prescribed learning outcomes may be realized through a classroom program or a particular performance category. Study through vocal and instrumental performance must be balanced with musicianship, sight singing, aural training, motor coordination, and directed listening. The Intermediate years are viewed as offering the opportunity to provide enrichment to the music program, enrichment through an application of skills and knowledge. Additional repertoire study will constantly reinforce and review while providing new aesthetic experiences and awareness. Using basic skills in different situations will solidify the musical knowledge and understanding and permit students to move beyond the technical and into the expressive realm of music (aesthetic development).

The organizing concept for the Grade 7 curriculum is “empowerment”. The curriculum examines various aspects of empowerment - including personal, political, cultural, social and national. It draws largely on the history of the Canadian nation from the early 1800s to the end of World War I. Reference is made to earlier periods as well as the contemporary. 81 INTERMEDIATE The organizing concept for the Grade 8 curriculum is “history as a story of the past in the present”. The curriculum examines various themes related to the history of Newfoundland and Labrador – history as a lens to the past, history as a story of people, history as a story of events, and history as a story of change. The course introduces students to the study of the history of the province from the turn of the 19th century to the present. It traces the province’s political evolution and development, colony-to-countryto-province, and asks students to: explore and appreciate history as part of their community, region and province; examine social change; and assess the impact of the past on the present. The conceptual organizer for Grade 9 is “interdependence”. The curriculum focuses on Atlantic Canada in the Global Community and is organized around five themes - Physical Setting, Culture, Economics, Technology, and Interdependence. The course enables students to examine and reflect on the major issues that affect them as individuals, Atlantic Canadians, and global citizens.

At the Grade 7 and Grade 8 levels there are authorized Technology Education Modules that are implemented in schools for the current school year. Schools wishing to schedule Industrial Arts programming at the Grade 7 and Grade 8 levels should do so within the time allocation devoted to Technology Education/Industrial Arts, as the two disciplines are considered as one at those grade levels. The Industrial Arts curriculum is the only curriculum of the two offered at the Grade 9 level for the 2007-2008 school year. Industrial Arts The intent of the Industrial Arts curriculum at the intermediate level is to provide students with diversified exploratory experiences in order to help them assume a basic understanding of industry and the world of work. An examination is made of the underlying functions of industry and how they relate to one another. 86 PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009 INTERMEDIATE At the intermediate level students should begin to understand and assess their interests and abilities in terms of our industrial and technical society. In addition to providing knowledge, the Industrial Arts curriculum develops creative ability through the application of knowledge and addresses student need for physical activity. The objectives of industrial arts at this level are attained through a study of basic hand tools and simple machine tools used with wood, metal, and plastic. Students are taught industrial communication skills such as blueprint reading and sketching and basic design techniques. They do experiments and projects in electricity and power.

French immersion serves to achieve the Essential Graduation Learnings. In Newfoundland and Labrador, two options in French immersion studies are available: Early French Immersion (EFI) and Late French Immersion (LFI). EFI extends from Kindergarten to Level III with approximately 100 percent of instruction in French from Kindergarten to Grade 2. English Language Arts is introduced at Grade 3. As other subject areas in English are introduced in later grades, the recommended minimum percentage of instruction in French is maintained. LFI extends from Grade 7 to Level III with approximately 75 percent of instruction in French in Grades 7 and 8. From Grade 9 to Level III the recommended minimum percentage of instruction in French is maintained.

This philosophy is reflected in the recommended time allotments for kindergarten. All subject areas make an important contribution to literacy and numeracy in kindergarten. While 40% of instructional time in the primary school year is identified for language arts and 30% for mathematics and science, at least 5% of the time allotment for language arts as well as 5% of the time allotment for mathematics would be achieved while teaching the other subject areas. In other words, teachers also teach language arts and mathematics outcomes during the 40% of instructional time allocated to social studies, religious education, health, art, music, and physical education. In the types of cross-curricular approaches followed in kindergarten classrooms, language arts and mathematics outcomes are often integrated into the teaching of other subject areas. Similarly, outcomes of various subject areas are frequently integrated into the teaching of language arts and mathematics. 156 PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009 FRENCH IMMERSION Primary The Primary Program continues to develop students’ abilities to comprehend and speak French; fosters students’ confidence in their ability to use French; develops literacy skills in French and English; parallels in French, to the greatest possible extent, the intent, content, and methodology of the English program. Subject teaching and communication are carried on as close to 100% in French as possible in Grades 1 and 2. In Grade 3, a portion of the language arts time allotment is used to deliver the prescribed English language arts curriculum and authorized learning resources. Arts plastiques To be taught in French following the guidelines for English classes (see English Program). Au primaire, les arts plastiques visent surtout à donner à l’élève la plus grande flexibilité possible en lui proposant une variété d’expériences. Le programme est conçu de façon à lui faire aimer les arts, à éveiller sa sensibilité, à lui donner l’assurance de s’exprimer et à lui apprendre les techniques et les procédés artistiques de base. Le programme insiste beaucoup sur le rapport entre ce qui est vu et ce qui est ressenti, et favorise un milieu propice à l’expression constante de la créativité visuelle. Les éléments de la communication (lignes, formes, couleurs, textures et espace) et les principes (mouvement, répétition, équilibre, contraste, relief et unité) sont étudiés en tant que composantes essentielles de l’expression visuelle, à la base de toute représentation ou de tout travail artistique. C’est sur ces éléments et sur ces principes que se fonde le développement esthétique. Tout au long du programme, les élèves s’inspirent de leur expérience personnelle ainsi que de leur milieu physique, social et culturel pour s’exprimer visuellement. Certaines activités description, comparaison, classement, rapprochement et manipulation aident à développer le sens du visuel. La perception sensorielle est étudiée au moyen d’activités telles que l’écoute, les activités tactiles, la dégustation, la reconnaissance des odeurs et l’étude des mouvements. En plus d’apprendre à créer des images, les élèves découvrent comment utiliser les images et les graphiques pour discuter, trouver et échanger de l’information. Le programme comprend un volet axé sur l’expression orale qui permet aux élèves d’acquérir du vocabulaire propre au domaine artistique, de renforcer leur perception visuelle et d’expliquer leurs réactions aux arts plastiques PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009 157 FRENCH IMMERSION et à leur milieu.

Enseignement religieux Le programme d’enseignement religieux du primaire offre aux élèves, au moyen d’activités et d’histoires, l’occasion de réfléchir sur les expériences qui soulèvent chez eux des questions sur le but, le sens et la valeur de la vie. Le programme du primaire analyse des expériences humaines et les questions qu’elles soulèvent, ainsi que les réponses que la religion peut fournir à ces questions. Il aide les enfants à explorer le sens de l’appartenance, à apprécier la création et à accorder de la valeur aux célébrations. Dans le présent programme, les élèves apprennent aussi à connaître des gens qui ont apporté une contribution marquée à la société. En mettant l’accent sur les émotions, les attitudes et la prise de conscience de soi et des autres ainsi que sur le sens du merveilleux, l’éducation religieuse de l’enfant au niveau primaire sert de fondement à l’élaboration future d’une dimension explicite de la religion. Au moyen d’une approche axée sur l’enfant et de multiples ressources, le programme permet à l’élève de s’épanouir sur le plan intellectuel, émotionnel et spirituel.

This philosophy is reflected in the recommended time allotments for the primary grades. All subject areas make an important contribution to literacy and numeracy in the primary grades. While 40% of instructional time in the primary school year is identified for language arts and 30% for mathematics and science, at least 5% of the time allotment for language arts as well as 5% of the time allotment for mathematics would be achieved while teaching the other subject areas. In other words, teachers also teach language arts and mathematics outcomes during the 40% of instructional time allocated to social studies, religious education, health, art, music, and physical education. In the types of cross-curricular approaches followed in primary classrooms, language arts and mathematics outcomes are often integrated into the teaching of other subject areas. Similarly, outcomes of various subject areas are frequently integrated into the teaching of language arts and mathematics. 168 PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009 FRENCH IMMERSION Elementary The Elementary French Program continues the development of French language skills acquired in the primary grades.
