Message from our Literacy Coaches......
Are we splitting a Wonders Week over Spring Break?
In grades 1-5, Days 1 & 2 0f U4 W4 (1st is U4 W3) will be taught on March 11 & 12 with a review day on Friday, March 13th. This allows for work in the literature anthology book to all be done after spring break. Kindergarten’s scope and sequence shows that U7 W3 was a four day week and U8 W1 would be a full week beginning on March 9th. You will be beginning Unit 8 Week 2 after break.
Take a look at the snapshots of the scope and sequences here.
