literacy materials to our program to better address the academic
needs of the students we service. We would also like to add “Empire State ELA,” grades 2-8 from Continental Press. These materials are closely aligned to the NYS performance indicators and literacy competencies. In addition we would also like to add “Empire State NYESLAT”
materials for grade K-8, published by Continental Press,
to better service the English Language Learners student population.
These materials help support curricular goals and work toward
students overcoming daily language barriers. Each of the
units is geared for listening, reading, speaking and writing.
We would like to discontinue the use of Everyday Mathematics
in our mathematics component. In addition we would like to add “Empire State Mathematics, March to March edition”, published by Continental Press. These researched-based materials are also closely aligned to the NYS Performance standards and we believe will better support the academic success of the students in our program. For our K-2 students we would like to add “Mathematics: Skills, Concepts, Problem Solving.” These materials support math strands approved by NCTM. They provide practical, real life applications with high engagement math strategies. |
