What are Executive Functions?
I am excited to be part of a new curriculum at Culver! Executive function skills help people plan, organize, and complete tasks. This year, we will be focusing on time management, study strategies and goal setting. Fourth and fifth graders will have a lesson each week in these important skills, then they will check out books in the Media Center. Sixth, seventh, and eighth graders will have Executive Functions as part of their Creative Arts rotation. The rotations are as follows:
First Quarter: Sixth Grade Second Quarter: Eighth Grade Third Quarter: Seventh Grade |
