Programs & Misc.
One major contributor to our success is the fact that our teachers employ a number of instructional strategies in their day to day instruction supported by a variety of programs. Our programs are developed based on the individual needs of our students. From the use of traditional methods such as phonics instruction to cooperative learning and hands on instruction, our students receive the best that our profession has to offer.

ACCELERATED READING (AR)
Reading research has proven that reading practice is what makes a difference between struggling and proficient readers. AR motivates students to read at their own level while challenging them to tackle material at the next level.
CHARACTER COUNTS!
Effective character education, of course, goes beyond the memorization of words. It involves the inculcation of habits that form internal mechanisms of control and moral courage. Character education is necessary to help students develop the tools and strategies to make moral choices they can be proud of. A teacher can provide no greater gift.
COUNSELING
School counselors provide one-on-one personal counseling, classroom presentations, career exploration activities, and program assessment.
MUSIC PROGRAMS
Our music programs ensure that every child in our school has a an active part in our programs. This year we will be celebrating the 59th Annual Mayday Program, a tradition that is certainly a proud memory for many of our alumni.
READING BUDDIES
This is a school wide program where students in the primary grades are paired with students in the intermediate grades. These students share literature and participate in activities designed by the teacher. As designed, this program also provides teachers an opportunity to meet with their grade level colleagues to collaboratively plan activities for their classrooms.
SuccessMaker Enterprise - SME Lab
The SuccessMaker Enterprise Lab is an innovative, balanced educational program that incorporates curriculum, management, and assessment into a powerful results-based learning system. The software offers hours of interactive learning activities in reading, language arts and mathematics for students in grades 1st through 6th. Teachers are able to monitor and direct the progress of each student on an individual basis. There are two types of courses, Foundation courses and Explore Ware courses. Foundation courses offer instruction in fundamental skills and strategies where ExploreWare courses provide opportunities for exploration and open-ended instruction. Together they provide a balanced approach to learning. Students attend lab on a regular basis. The teacher monitors the individualized computer instruction.

After children obtain performance levels, the program gradually moves them up as they learn new skills. This is a fabulous opportunity for students who are working below grade level or for the student who needs more of a challenge in math or reading.


AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM
Our after school help program with assistance from the Talent Search Program and Eastern New Mexico University will continue to tutor our sixth grade students. The focus of this program is to help students with their homework and to help them develop study and organizational skills. We will be expanding our After School Program (ASP) to provide after school care for our students in Pre-K through sixth grade. We hope to provide a fun, safe educational environment for our kids from 3:00 to 5:00 pm Monday through Friday. The curriculum being utilized this year will be Voyager: Time Wrap. The Voyage programs provide an interactive approach to learning across the curriculum.

H.O.S.T.S.
Help One Student To Succeed (HOSTS) is a research-based structured mentoring strategy that combines developmentally appropriate assessments, learning strategies, and instructional activities to extend and enrich the students’ learning. The program pairs a student who needs help learning to read with a community volunteer as a mentor. A mentor works with a student on materials and activities prescribed by the HOSTS instructor. Our HOSTS program focuses on children at risk in grades 1st-3rd grade.


HUNDRED DAY CELEBRATION
Our primary grade students participate in an annual Hundred Day celebration. Our teachers prepare a number of activities in which the students actively participate in math activities on the one hundredth day of school.
SCIENCE FAIR
This activity is open to all Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Grade students at Bickley. Students in our Kindergarten, First and Second Grade classrooms participate in class projects which are then displayed during the Science Fair. Our goal is to expose all of our students to the scientific process while preparing a number of our sixth graders for district and hopefully regional and state competition.
