Curriculum 

Magnuson's challenging and exciting core curriculum of reading, math, social studies, science, computers, Chapel and Bible lessons is enriched with Spanish, Music, Art, Phy-Ed, and Piano Lessons.

Field Trips
Field trips are part of the overall curriculum. Students may engage in a field trip experience to help achieve educational goals.

Creating a Caring Child
Magnuson has even more to offer your child besides the subject area studies. Because Magnuson seeks to grow the whole child there is a strong emphasis on mission projects. Each month we have a different mission project. Additionally, students have interactive events with the senior group from First Lutheran Church. Sing-a-longs, gift making, lunch sharing and socializing are some of the activities students share with the seniors. To continue our cross-generational activities, we share events with Lake Area Discovery Center, a preschool in our building. Several days a year we have "Buddy Days" where the preschool children come and participate with our students in activities.

Piano Lessons
Researchers are now able to physically document the benefits of music education by doing brain studies. These benefits are something that most of us have known and experienced for many years. Our Music Specialist, Janis Nash, will be offering many in school and out of school opportunities to learn to play the piano. Piano lessons provide a springboard for other musical skills as well as provide mental & physical challenges that enhance lifelong learning. At Magnuson, Kindergarten students will be introduced to piano lessons and will receive a lesson every week as part of the school day. The lessons will be group lessons, with 2 to 3 students in a group, and will be 15 minutes long. They learn some songs by singing and playing by a rote learning approach, and then will continue by using a method book. First, Second, and Third grade students will then have an opportunity to continue piano lessons that will occur outside of school class time, eithe before school, after school, or during the lunch/recess hour, if they so choose. Lesson groups will contain 3-4 students and will last 30 minutes. Communication with parents about lessons will be via a notebook that is brought each lesson.
