Daisy Fernandez's spaces

Campbell Union School District is committed to providing our students an education that is beyond the expected. We have transformed a traditional classroom into a STEAM space that integrates science, technology, engineering, arts and math into cohesive instructional units that complement core curriculum. STEAM spaces can include anything from 3D printers to carts of computers and tablets, and all provide open spaces for student work and collaboration.

Technology continues to be a priority for CUSD. With the implementation of online assessments and the goal of creating 21st Century learners, students are getting more and more exposure to technology in their classrooms. Technology can come in the form of tablets, laptops, and access to presentation systems. In the last 2 years, CUSD has doubled the number of devices available to students and continues to add more.

Our school boasts an impressive number of mobile technology labs and equipment. Teachers and students have access to class-sized carts of technology, including iPads, Macbook Airs and Chromebooks. These carts move between classrooms during breaks and passing periods, saving valuable instructional minutes and providing students a comfortable atmosphere for collaborative work.

Transitional Kindergarten (TK) is the first of a two-year, specially designed Kindergarten program. 

The curriculum bridges preschool and kindergarten, and includes specific strategies for supporting the unique social–emotional development and educational preparation for this group of young learners.

As part of the STEAM curriculum, Visual Arts provides students with planned, success-oriented art experiences using a variety of materials and techniques. Students will produce artwork in two and three-dimensional forms, and become familiar with drawing tools, techniques, art history, color theory, painting, printmaking, collage, and either papier mache or clay. The students will study each element (line, shape, value, texture, color, space and form) of art as a unit.  Several formative assignments, in addition to a larger project, are given for each unit.
