The
elementary
school
program
at
Guilderland
is
designed
to
develop
students’
confidence
in
themselves
as
learners,
to
instill
a
love
of
learning,
and
to
help
them
develop
the
knowledge,
skills
and
attitudes
needed
to
communicate
effectively,
understand
the
world
about
them,
and
participate
fully
in
a
democratic
society.
Students
will
engage
in
integrated
or
thematic
study
that
requires
them
to
read,
write,
investigate,
converse,
design,
create,
analyze,
share
and
present
data
and
opinions
as
they
pursue
solutions
and
understandings.
Parents
can
support
their
children’s
school
learning
by
using
the
vocabulary
and
discussing
the
concepts
identified
here
as
they
share
reading,
discuss
current
events,
or
explore
new
places
with
their
children.
