The math program consists of numerous manipulative activities. We also use the Saxon Math curriculum. The teachers have incorporated themes to go along with the McGraw-Hill letters each week. The teachers are using a new reading series this year. Phonics is a very important part of our curriculum, but we also read books that have predictable story outcomes.
Writing is an integral part of our language arts program.
The students write several times a day using different types of activities. We display our writing samples in the hall and you are welcome to come anytime to read our stories. The Saxon Program is being used in math. The teachers and students are currently working on strategies that will help the children on the third grade math and reading TAAS Tests. In reading, we are exploring all genres of literature such as fiction, nonfiction, fairy tales, folktales, and poetry.
