Primary Focus on Instruction

Instructional Happenings
Mrs. Bayless, our kindergarten team lead, has been on fire this year with her instruction! We've always known she is an exceptional teacher, and this year she is going above and beyond. She is an active participant in the TEA Reading Academy and she is putting those instructional practices to work. This link will take you to a short video of her class practicing blending phonemes. Will you look at (and listen to) that engagement!
Benchmark Universe
I am super excited about this resource! Book access for our kids has grown tremendously with this program. With the embedded tools, no book is off-limits. Benchmark Universe has ebooks from levels AA-Z in every genre. Shared reading books are also included. The opportunities for literacy instruction are endless! I've included a short 4-minute video tutorial on how to use the ebooks, but please know that this is only a small portion of what you can do with this program.
