Envision Math is grounded in problem-based and visual learning that enable students to gain a deeper understanding of math concepts.  The program also features resources to encourage student-led learning both in the classroom and at home.

Fountas & Pinnell Classroom™ (FPC) is a cohesive, multi-text approach to literacy instruction for all students in grades PreK–6. The System is designed to support whole-group, small-group and independent learning opportunities including: interactive read-aloud; reading minilessons; writing minilessons; shared reading; phonics, spelling, and word study; guided reading; book clubs; and independent reading collections.  Fountas & Pinnell Classroom™ is rich with authentic texts, lessons or conferring cards, minilessons and professional learning tools for a systematic, transformative approach to literacy instruction.

Fundations Level 1 consists of 14 units of thorough and multisensory structured lessons of teaching foundational reading and spelling skills, supplementing core language arts instruction.  The units will reinforce the basic skills that were learned in Kindergarten and progress further into the study of work structure.  Students will be provided with a wide variety of text experiences,, including poetry, narratives, and informational texts.

Heggerty (Phonemic Awareness)
Phonemic Awareness is the understanding that spoken words are made up of individual sounds, called phonemes. A child who is phonemically aware is able to isolate sounds, blend and segment sounds, and manipulate sounds in spoken words. The daily activities in the Heggerty Phonemic Awareness curriculum provide students with oral and auditory skills to develop these essential reading skills. The Heggerty Phonemic Awareness curriculum provides educators with 35 weeks of explicit Phonemic Awareness lessons.

Elevate Science is a complete K-5 science program that elevates thinking, learning, and teaching! The blended print and digital curriculum covers all Next Generation Science Standards at every grade level. Exploration is the heart of science. The Quest problem-based activity is an exploration that anchors each topic. Students "figure out" the problem's solution as they navigate the topic's lessons. It's real science with engaging phenomena. Students apply their knowledge and skills to master the new science standards.

MyWorld Social Studies
Learning comes alive through storytelling, literacy instruction, and flexible resources. Stories from our world engage students and help develop thoughtful, literate citizens. Lessons apply inquiry processes, practice reading and writing, and involve collaboration and communication skills. Blended learning experiences include an interactive Student Worktext and digital courseware. Share the story of our democratic ideals, communities, and people!
