What We’re Doing!
READING: We are using the Voyager Reading program,
and
our theme in first grade is SEACASTLES. Our minimum reading fluency goal for the
end of the year is 60 words per minute for every student. Another new component of our reading program
is TICKET TO READ which is a computer based program designed to improve
fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary.
To access this program at home, go to www.tickettoread.com.
MATH: We are
excited about our new math program, enVisionMath. The program consists
of 20 topics with groups of lessons that focus on related TEKS. Some of our
math focal points will be comparing and ordering numbers, addition,
subtraction, patterns, place value, money, fractional parts, geometry,
measurement, and time.
