Welcome to the Coyote Corner, the Hero Builder & Project Restore
The Hero Builder is the program we use to teach students important character traits such as honesty and empathy. Students are taught they can be an everyday hero by having these traits. Click the link below to view a list of the traits used to give us your feedback.
Project Restore is a six part training session our staff are participating in. This training teaches staff about the impacts of trauma on learning, and provides specific strategies to support students.

Academic Focus
The first quarter, students focused on letter recognition, letter sounds, letter writing, phonemic awareness for the focus letters and answering key details in a story. They also worked on identifying and writing numbers 0-5, counting to 25 and one to one correspondence for math.

They will also work on recognizing rhyming, blending and segmenting syllables, recognizing more high frequency words, identifying and writing numbers 0-10, counting to 50 by 1's and 10's, comparing numbers 0-10, and identifying different 2D shapes.
First Grade
The first quarter, students focused on short vowel, consonant diagraphs and consonant blends, reading nonfiction texts and learning about animals, their habitats, and their characteristics, sentence writing, and adding and subtracting within 20.
Next quarter, students will continue their work on consonant diagraphs and syllables, blending and segmenting words, responding to a topic in writing, identifying key details in text and applying properties of operations to solve addition and subtraction problems.
