K-5 Math
At Meyer Elementary and Woolls Intermediate, we use the Bluebonnet Math curriculum to give our students a strong foundation in mathematics. This program is a high quality instructional material that focuses on building number sense, problem-solving skills, and critical thinking—helping students truly understand math rather than just memorizing steps.
In the classroom, your child will engage in hands-on activities, collaborative discussions, and real-world problem solving that make math meaningful and fun. At home, you can support your child by encouraging them to explain their thinking, practicing math facts, and celebrating their progress.
If you have questions about Bluebonnet Math or want ideas to support your child’s learning, please reach out to your child’s teacher—we are here to partner with you!

Heggerty
Heggerty
Phonemic Awareness for K-2
At Meyer Elementary, our youngest learners build a solid foundation for reading through Heggerty Phonemic Awareness. This research-based program delivers daily, 10–12-minute lessons full of fun and explicit instruction in key phonemic skills—like rhyming, blending, segmenting, and sound manipulation—that help children hear and play with the individual sounds in words.
These lessons are quick yet powerful, designed to develop strong literacy skills through engaging oral and auditory activities that support early reading success in Pre-K through 2nd grade.
How Parents Can Support at Home:
Listen and play with sounds: Ask your child to break words into individual sounds or blend sounds together—just as they do in class.
Practice with purpose: Use everyday words in playful ways; point out rhymes or clap out syllables during car rides or story time.
Ask to see what they're doing: Teachers can share key skills your child is working on each week—great for extending learning at home.
