About East Providence School Department
In East Providence, there are eight elementary schools and one early learning center that offer services to some 2,600 students. The schools are organized in grades K-5. The Meadowcrest Early Learning Center houses Pre-K, ESL K, and Special Education primary classes.
A child's elementary school experiences are important cornerstones of development, – more... and should be as enjoyable and satisfying as they are successful. Our goal is for every child to learn in a risk-free, safe and nurturing, orderly environment. Teachers and administrators strive to engage students in developmentally appropriate "hands-on learning" experiences that will foster positive feelings toward learning.
The academic focus is on literacy and numeracy in core subject areas. Instruction includes small and large flexible groupings, cooperative learning, integrated activities, enrichment opportunities, career awareness, and the use of computer technology.
The reading program consists of instruction in five key areas of reading: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and text comprehension. Our teachers use scientifically-based strategies for teaching reading skills.
Performance based math initiatives focus on the strands of numeration and counting; operations and relations; problem solving; data collection and analysis; measurement; geometry; algebra; functions, patterns, and sequences; time; and money. The curriculum of rich content is designed to prepare students for more advanced math in middle and high school. The concepts are introduced and taught in a spiral curriculum that revisits concepts each year so students can extend their understandings in a firmly established foundation.
The KITES (Kits In Teaching Elementary Science) program provides students with learning-by-doing in the field of science. – less – More from ZoomInfo »
