Students will grow as writers using the Writing Process. Students will pre-write, draft, revise, edit, publish and share their writing. We will be utilizing group work and partner work during the different stages of this process.
Reader's Workshop
Students will grow as readers through our Reader's workshop. Students will participate in small group instruction, conference time, partner work as well as independently working on their reading skills.
Word Work
Students will strengthen their spelling skills by working in groups using the program, Words Their Way. Students will receive a new set of word cards and list each week. Students will practice using their words cards to complete blind sorts, closed sorts, writing sorts, speed sorts, word hunts, etc.
ExC-ELL
Students will be working on their reading comprehension by learning and applying content vocabulary in writing and speaking. This reading comprehension strategy incorporates teamwork/partner work
