We pride ourselves on providing high quality education emphasizing literacy skills (reading/writing) and mathematics. Science and Social Studies are integrated into the literacy program along with thematic units. Our literacy curriculum covers five main areas: phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, comprehension, and reading fluency. It is intense, varied, and aligned to the Common Core State Standards. Students are educated via a core reading program, individualized reading programs, research based intervention programs, and best practices in reading.
In addition to our reading program, we believe in a rigorous mathematics program. Kindergarten and first grade classrooms have aligned their lessons to the new Common Core Math Standards. Students are allowed many opportunities to work with math manipulatives and hands-on learning tools. Problem solving and finding multiple ways to come up with the answer is encouraged.
Each kindergarten and first grade classroom at Northview has at least four computers and there is a computer lab with 25 computers. Most classrooms also have a SmartBoard, which is an interactive technology tool that allows students to fully engage in their lessons. All students have access to iPads. This new technology allows even more applications to be used during small group interventions, large group work, and literacy centers!
I look forward to working with you as we take the first steps in the educational journey of your children. We are proud of our school and welcome the opportunity to share more with you. Please feel free to contact us by calling 815-223-2567. We would be happy to assist you in any way that we can!
