We use a program called rainbow words to get students learning high frequency words. I will let you know what color coded list your child is on throughout the year so you can work on these at home.
In school we work with an online program called Kids A-Z. This program has hundreds of online books that your student can read or have the program read to them. Each student in my class will have their own account. My classroom account is under MrsHarbaugh3.
We use a reading level system called BAS. This system uses letters A-Z to help you understand where your child is at in reading and what levels are appropriate for their grade. This is one way we gauge whether students are on track or may need some extra help.
Our standards are common core and we use this to grade the Kindergarten and 1st grade students. We are currently using Journeys for reading and Go Math for our math curriculum.
I use Class Dojo which can be downloaded to your phone through an app. This is a super easy way to communicate and it also allows me to give positive feedback to your children. Please sign up using the link below.
