The Wayne Central School District believes that the goal of education is the all-around development of each student. The role of the school is to enable individuals to develop to their fullest potential.
The school, in cooperation with the home and community, will assist the student with intellectual, social, cultural, emotional, physical and moral growth. The school should help create within each student an awareness of civic responsibilities and respect for authority to assist the student in becoming a well-integrated, responsible person capable of assuming a vital role in an evolving civilization.
The Wayne Central School District subscribes to the general theory of individual differences; namely, that each student is an individual and has innate abilities, ambitions, and emotions. In the process of educating this individual, the program should provide a challenge while reflecting a concern for needs based on individual capabilities.
The Wayne Central School District further subscribes to the following fundamental principles:
1. Children, regardless of potential, are capable of learning and acquiring the skill and knowledge needed to function to the best of their ability in our society,
2. Our responsibility is to see that children learn. The energies of all participants should be focused on achieving the desired outcomes. Accountability does not end with following established rules and procedures; its essence is found in results,
3. Minimum competence, while necessary, is not enough. Successful participation in our society demands much more. All children are entitled to approved curriculum, to instructional methods, and to expectations that challenge them to perform at their best, and help them to become truly proficient in knowledge and skills,
4. Every child in New York State is entitled to the resources necessary to provide the sound, basic education that the state constitution requires,
5. Each participant in the educational system should have the opportunity to effectively discharge his or her responsibility, and each participant should be held accountable for achieving desired results. This principle applies to all participants in the educational process – students, parents, teachers, counselors, librarians, administrators, the Board of Education, and others,
6. Achievement of desired results by individuals and groups should be rewarded. Creativity in our students needs to be nurtured and encouraged. Occasional failure in a large and diverse system us probably unavoidable. However, failure should not be permitted to persist. When it occurs, with either individuals or groups, help should be provided and the situation changed.
II. District Mission Statement:
Based upon the belief that all students can learn, the staff of Wayne Central School district accepts the responsibility to teach all students regardless of differences, the fundamental skills. We further accept the responsibility to challenge all students to attain higher levels of achievement. Wayne Central will provide the opportunity, environment, and encouragement to meet this goal while developing the whole child physically, emotionally, and culturally.

VI. Course Overview
The first grade science program is based on a series of classifications and discoveries. Students learn most effectively when they are actively engaged in the discovery process through scientific inquiry. Students will be able to explain, analyze, and interpret scientific processes and phenomena that make interconnections with key ideas and apply them to real life situations. Through this course of study students will practice problem-solving skills, develop positive science attitudes, learn new science content, and increase their scientific literacy in our physical setting and living environment. Safety's techniques and strategies are taught through "Kids and Company" and the district character education program.
The science units are aligned with the New York State Standards. The eight units taught are:
1. Properties
2. Magnets
3. Seasons/Weather
4. Life Cycle
5. Nutrition/Health
6. Animals
7. Plants
8. Energy/Interactions
Italicized bold vocabulary words should be defined and understood by students.
Key Terms: skill introduced = introduce
skill taught = understand
skill mastered = master the understanding
skill expanded = expand the understanding
It should be a goal of the instructor to foster the development of science process skills. The application of these skills allows students to investigate important issues in the world around them.
Inquiry-based units will include many or most of the following process skills. These process skills should be incorporated into students’ instruction as developmentally appropriate.
Classifying – arranging or distributing objects, events, or information representing objects or events in classes according to some method or system
Communicating – giving oral and written explanations or graphic representations of observations
Creating models – displaying information, using multisensory representations
Gathering and organizing data – collecting information about objects and events which illustrate a specific situation
Generalizing – drawing general conclusion from particulars
Identifying variables – recognizing the characteristics of objects or factors in events that are constant or change under different conditions
Inferring – drawing a conclusion based on prior experiences
Interpreting data – analyzing data that have been obtained and organized by determining apparent patterns or relationships in the data
Making decisions – identifying alternatives and choosing a course of action from among the alternatives after basing the judgement for the selection on justifiable reasons
Manipulating materials – handling or treating materials and equipment safely, skillfully, and effectively
Measuring – making quantitative observations by comparing to a conventional or nonconventional standard
Observing – becoming aware of an object or event by using any of the senses (or extensions of the senses) to identify properties
Predicting – making a forecast of future events or conditions expected to exist.
