Curriculum Overview 2024-2025

  • The curriculum for K-5 students will be based on Florida Standards in all academic subjects.

    Literacy

    Students will be immersed in reading, writing, phonics, and word study instruction through materials that support the science of reading.  They will grow their content knowledge in the areas of science, social studies, and literacy topics.   During each unit, students are deeply immersed in a topic for three weeks. At the end of each unit, students will show what they know through culminating tasks. They will meet with the teacher for small group instruction to allow for differentiation so that we ensure we are meeting the needs of all of our students. Students will listen to read-alouds, read along in shared readings, learn songs and rhymes to support the development of phonemic awareness in the primary grades and read a variety of books.  Benchmark Advance is the name of the literacy adoption for the 24-25 school year.
