Literacy: Our current English Language Arts (ELA) is Amplify education Core Knowledge. Reading, grammar, and writing are combined within the Florida Standards Standards. Science and social studies are integrated through reading during the daily ELA block. In addition to the ELA program, we supplement instruction with I-Ready (a computer-based program) remediation and intervention. These small group based activities and various other strategies will help our students maintain and improve in English Language Arts. Enrichment activities are also provided for the students who excel in reading.
Math: Our current math adoption is GO MATH! Florida. This series has been aligned with the Florida Standards. Math is taught for sixty minutes each day. In addition to the math program, we supplement our mathematics curriculum with I-Station. Teachers also utilize resources from CPALMS, the Marion County Focus Calendar, and manipulatives when teaching math and consistently teach problem solving strategies to our students. Math standards are effectively integrated throughout the curriculum daily.
