Curriculum Documents >> Grade 1

TEKS Introduction—The introductory paragraphs from the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for each grade and course provide valuable information toward a better understanding of the state standards. These documents are necessary as they contain testable content and intent that may not be found within the grade level’s knowledge and skill statements and student expectations.

Vertical Alignment Documents—these documents outline the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) as they are taught across the grade levels, including specific content standards for each grade.  These were developed by K-12 teachers in each content area who met together to determine the depth to which each student expectation should be taught at each grade level.  Each grade level document includes the expectations for the grade before and the grade after to help teachers align their teaching from grade to grade.  The state standards, TEKS, are listed in black print. Clarifying specific content standards developed by Pflugerville teachers are listed in red print. The vertical alignment documents were utilized to develop the curriculum bundles.

Assurance Words—these words have been identified as “key” words for the specific grade level and content they represent. Students are expected to master these words by the end of the assigned grade level. These do not represent all vocabulary students will learn, but provide a focus for explicit vocabulary instruction.

Curriculum Bundles—each bundle document represents approximately 3-weeks of instruction. These were developed by K-12 teachers in each content area who met together to determine the curriculum scope and sequence. The suggested dates for each bundle are listed in the upper right hand corner. Each bundle contains a set of knowledge and skill statements, student expectations, district specificity/examples and suggested resources.
