As part of our commitment to provide an outstanding educational experience for Oklahoma children, we have posted activities, links and suggestions to support PASS objectives and benchmarks. The materials will follow the pacing calendar for Tulsa Public Schools. We hope teachers and parents from ALL school districts feel free to visit the site and utilize these valuable resources.
You
do not have to be scheduled for a field trip to Kids' World to benefit from the
information offered below. If you are scheduled to attend the festival, we hope
you will utilize this site to prepare your class and provide are richer experience.
PASS objectives are currently
being updated for the 2006-2007 school year - Pass objectives will be organized
by subject, then grade (Kindergarten - Grade 5) in printable pdf. formats. If
the PASS standard is supported at the festival, we have indicated, "festival,"
sometimes followed by a short description. You will also find references to sections
in the Kids' World Curriculum
and other resources. While
we are in process of placing this information on the web, teachers can request
a printed copy for immediate use in their classrooms. For a printed copy, e-mail
Kids' World Curriculum Coordinator Cristina
Smith Williams.
Please
check this site often, as we will add information frequently - even after Kids'
World. For more information about the curriculum, please email Cristina
Smith Williams.
