• Language Arts:  I will be your child's Language Arts teacher. 

    This year we are utilizing MyView. Students will have whole group, small group, and individual reading instruction with this program.

    Each cycle we will read a new story, and focus on specific comprehension, grammar, phonics, and vocabulary skills. Each cycle we will also focus on a specific spelling pattern.  Students will be introduced to the spelling words at school with a pretest. We will practice our spelling patterns daily through multisensory activities focused on the sounds in the words.  Students will utilize sound boxes to practice words following our patterns.   

    Math: Mrs. Beard will be your child's Math teacher.
    This year we will continue implementing the Math in Focus curriculum. Math in Focus uses problem solving as the center of math learning and concepts taught with a concrete–pictorial–abstract learning progression through real-world, hands-on experiences.

    Math in Focus
    Supports the goals of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics
    Is research-based and focuses on classroom learning, discussion, and practice
    Balances conceptual understanding, visual learning, and problem solving

    Students will be assessed regularly for their basic fact fluency in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Please help your child by working with them to study these basic facts each night.
