ELA

HMH literacy instruction provides the “how” for what students learn in science, social studies, the arts, and more. As students read and talk about texts, they will naturally build background and knowledge about grade-level cross-curricular topics and standards – Next Generation Learning Standards. HMH offers choice to all students – the power of choice can be motivating – what is interesting to one student may not appeal to another. Students access meaningful independent work and a wide variety of relevant, rich, authentic texts for independent reading to gain appropriate ownership of their learning. Students also have daily opportunities to express their understanding and thinking through productive and collaborative conversations that will help them succeed in today’s work.

Fundations (Wilson Language Basics) – Provides students with a foundation for reading and spelling that is part of the core language arts instruction. Students, primarily in grades Kindergarten, 1, and 2, receive 30-35 minutes of daily supplemental instruction.
Heggerty Phonemic Awareness Program – Offers 24 weeks of supplemental daily explicit and systematic phonemic awareness lessons to students.

Social Studies

Passport to Social Studies challenges students to think like historians and encourages them to raise questions, think critically, consider many perspectives, and gather evidence in support of their interpretations through the practice of chronological processing, decision-making, and historical research and analysis. Civics for All is aligned to the Passport to Social Studies curriculum. The DOE believes civics education is an essential part of every student’s core academic experience.

Amplify Science is a science curriculum that blends hands-on investigations, literacy-rich activities, and interactive digital tools to empower students to think, read, write, engage in discussions, and argue like real scientists and engineers.
