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 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.
