Small Group Intervention at Walnut
Mrs. Mello, Mrs. Dann, Mrs. Patterson, and Mrs. Kazmirchuk join our classroom teaching staff to teach Target Time classes. Target Time is focused on English Language Arts, and each grade level has its own 30-minute (grades 1-3) or 45-minute (grades 4 & 5) timeslot during the day. At the beginning of each trimester, parents receive a letter informing them of their child's Target Time teacher and the area(s) of focus for their child's group. Teachers meet for grade level data analysis throughout the year to form these groups and monitor student progress.
We also have a math intervention program. Mrs. Dann and Mrs. Kazmirchuk work in upper grade classrooms and Mrs. Mello, Mrs. Patterson, and Mrs. Ange support primary grades. Mrs. Ange also leads the Kindergarten intervention program 4 days per week in both English Language Arts and math. Our goal is to give each student the support they need grow as a learner.
We are proud of our small-group programs and would be happy to share more details at any time. Feel free to contact your child's teacher or Mrs. Wall for more information.
