Curriculum

AUBURN CURRICULUM

We strive to effectively implement an engaging and relevant curriculum to set our students on a path to achieving abundant success. Our elementary curriculum is aligned with current National and State Standards and supports student’s learning at all grade levels. At Auburn Elementary, we utilize our computer labs and in-classroom technology to enhance and support our curriculum, including Nook tablets, ELMO’s, and projectors. While college and/or career readiness may seem far away, at the elementary school level, it is important for us to build a solid foundation in literacy, mathematics, science, and social studies through innovative teaching methodologies.

Avondale K-5 Career Development

Students begin to develop ideas about jobs and the world of work at a young age, but they only know what they have seen or experienced. Often, this is a very limited view. At the elementary schools, it is our mission to help students dive in to all 6 Michigan Career Clusters and be exposed to a multitude of possible careers. We have created many intentional activities and events that are completed throughout the year.

Elementary Activities & Events

  • K-5 Job of the Week (174 covered in 6 years) 
  • K-5 "Careers in a Box" Career Cluster lessons available to all teachers
  • 2nd grade Career Booklets completed throughout the year, sent home in May as a great keepsake!
  • 3rd-5th grade Monthly Career Journal starters
  • 4th grade STEMi visit showcasing jobs in STEM
  • District-Wide 5th Grade Career Day
  • District-Wide K-5 Future Focus Day
  • K-5 Xello-Fun online Career Activities
