Curriculum

The California Department of Education has produced listings of standards it expects from each grade level within the state. Cherry Chase strives to meet or exceed all of these levels of expectation. For complete details of these standards, go to the California Dept. of Education website. Information is broken out by subject - language arts, math, social studies, science, and visual/performing arts.

Open Court Maps

Open Court is the Language Arts Curriculum that Cherry Chase and the Sunnyvale School District use. Parents have often wondered what their children are learning in Open Court and how they can best support their children in this curriculum. Now grade level summary maps are available (see links below).

The summary map lists each unit covered in a given grade. The unit summary overviews the story read, the phonics, word knowledge, comprehension strategies and skills, and language arts areas studied.
