Blended Grades 1-2

ELA+ Science/Engineering & Social Studies:

The 1^st-2^nd grade ELA curriculum is driven primarily by Science and Engineering Themes which are aligned with the Idaho state Science and Engineering Standards for the K-2 grade band requirements.
They are laid out in 4 modules, which also address Social Studies themes such as community, helping, showing kindness, and caring for our world as good stewards.

Year 1:

Module 1: Tools and Work
Module 2: A study of the Sun, Moon, and Stars
Module 3: Birds’ Amazing Bodies
Module 4: Caring for Birds

Year 2:

Module 1: Schools and Community
Module 2: Fossils tell of Earth’s Changes
Module 3: Plants and Pollinators
Module 4: Providing for Pollinators

Math: Singapore Math, Engage NY (TBD) and/or Learnzillion.com supports.

Math concepts will be woven into the ELA + Science/Engineering, and ELA + Social Studies driven expeditions at every opportunity, to experience real-world, applied understandings.
Some students will be learning the 1^st grade content standards, while others will learn the 2^nd grade content standards.
Because we have blended grade teams of teachers at HCC, students will have the support they need to reach mastery of grade level content.
Students may advance at their own pace, and we will work with them to reach proficiency for each standard.
If a student is advanced, they may spend Math Connect time with a 3^rd-4^th grade group, or they may learn the advanced concepts within a group in their same blended grade.
