- [The Literary Interview: Cleopatra](https://www.coreknowledge.org/the-literary-interview-cleopatra/): Beth: Every fall, Core Knowledge teachers everywhere brace for the same happy problem: how do you make Ancient Egypt or Ancient Rome feel alive to a room of ten-year-olds on day three of the new school year? This month, I got a head start by sitting  down with one of the most beguiling characters herself, Cleopatra VII, last pharaoh of Egypt, fluent in nine languages, and (still, apparently) allergic to being kept waiting.

These practitioners will be sharing best practices and practical ideas that can be implemented easily in their classroom. If you are interested in presenting, please fill out our call for proposal form.  All presenters will receive free registration. 
- [Science Literacy](https://www.coreknowledge.org/science-literacy/): Core Knowledge Foundation is committed to fostering science literacy in students K-5. But our mission is not to turn every student into a scientist by profession, but rather it is to allow for the development of scientifically literate citizens.

- [Computer Science](https://www.coreknowledge.org/computer-science/): Elementary school students are familiar with computers. Many classes have computers, and many schools have computer rooms. Students have desktops, laptops, and mobile devices, so it might be easy to assume that today’s children are computer literate.
- [Core Knowledge at Work from Lake Havasu](https://www.coreknowledge.org/core-knowledge-at-work-from-lake-havasu/): In the last months of 2020, the Lake Havasu City School District, located on the western side of Arizona, decided to make a shift in curriculum.

- [Developing Students’ Character Through Reading Biographies](https://www.coreknowledge.org/developing-students-character-through-reading-biographies/): Over the last few years, schools around the country have made a concerted effort to emphasize character education in curriculum. These efforts can vary from formal curricula to teachers being given a particular virtue or trait to “highlight” that month. In the case of the latter, teachers are often left to find the time and resources to fill a tasked requirement.
- [Implementing Homeschool Instruction with the Core Knowledge Sequence](https://www.coreknowledge.org/implementing-homeschool-instruction-with-the-core-knowledge-sequence/): Our approach to curriculum and learning is organized around the idea that what students learn and know at each grade level matters.

All units will emphasize primary sources and be reviewed by subject matter experts, typically university professors.
- [Wanted: A Science of Reading Comprehension Movement](https://www.coreknowledge.org/wanted-a-science-of-reading-comprehension-movement/): Just in the nick of time for the last days of summer beach reading, there were a pair of big stories about reading instruction in TIME magazine and The New Yorker last month. That’s about as mainstream as media attention gets, and signals that maybe the tide really has turned on literacy instruction in American schools. Given the undeniable magnitude of learning loss after three successive school years disrupted by Covid, such a shift couldn’t be more welcome or timely.
- [Stories from the Field: Listen, Learn, Grow](https://www.coreknowledge.org/stories-from-the-field-listen-learn-grow/): Have you ever heard a fellow educator share an experience and thought to yourself, “the same thing happened to me?” While the field of education is often rewarding—observing a student, who struggled, start to make gains, witnessing a steady increase in family and community involvement at school events, collaborating with colleagues to plan and problem solve—for many of us we also encounter challenge and even frustration when our best efforts do not appear to be paying off. Hearing similar stories from other educators, and how they addressed challenges, reminds us that we are not alone in this journey.  Their experiences can inspire our next steps and offer renewed hope that our work can make a difference.

Some problems involve finding sums greater than 10, a skill to be honed throughout the course and with the support of tools such as connecting cubes. Students use drawings, symbols, tally marks, and numbers to represent categorical data. They go further by choosing their own categories, interpreting representations with up to three categories, and asking and answering questions about the data.
- [CKHG Unit 1: Continents, Countries, and Maps](https://www.coreknowledge.org/free-resource/ckhg-unit-1-continents-countries-and-maps/): Students then journey to South America, where they learn about the twelve countries of this diverse continent and pay a special visit to the Amazon—its great river and monumental rainforest, the indigenous people of the area, and the many different types of plants and animals that flourish there.
