Mathematics

Hunters Glen Elementary and Adams 12 Schools uses IM Math for math instruction.  IM Math encourages students to problem solve, communicate, and use inquiry.

English Language Arts

Hunters Glen Elementary and Adams 12 schools uses a structured literacy block in which students receive both whole group and small group instruction in reading.  Our core reading and writing resources is Benchmark Advance, a state approved curriculum.   

Additionally, Hunters Glen teachers in Grades K-2, teach daily, explicit Phonological Awareness through the researched based Heggerity Program.

Hunters Glen Elementary ensures all teachers are continually updated on the latest and best practices.  This is most commonly done through Staff Work Days once a month that provide staff up to date training on curriculum, methods, and practices.

Social Emotional Learning (SEL)

SEL is very important to Hunters Glen as research supports that students who are regulated, feel safe and welcome in school learn better.  At Hunters Glen, we use the District Approved Curriculum called Second Step for Grades Kindergarten - 3rd Grade.   4th and  5th Grade uses the Owning Up Curriculum, which is also district approved.
