Curriculum at Turnberry Elementary
Colorado State Content Standards
The state of Colorado has produced content standards for each subject and grade level range. These standards can be found on the CDE website. If you visit this website and see these standards, you will still have many questions about specific learning. Our school district has further condensed these standards into “essential learnings”, which represent the absolute knowledge, skills, and dispositions that we expect from every student. These “essential learnings” are the framework for which we teach and ultimately assure students learn. We will provide you with a copy of these “essentials” at back-to-school night. To help us accomplish this assured learning, we use the following texts and curricular programs:
Essential Learning Targets (ELT's)
Elementary K-6 Reading: Houghton Mifflin Reading 2008
Elementary K-5 Math: Houghton Mifflin Math 2007
