Our Goals at a Glance
Reading: We have just completed our first unit in reading. Our next unit will cover several elements, such as: context clues, main idea and details, poetry, and figurative language. Students will be practicing these different skills using multiple types of text throughout the unit.
Writing: In writing, we are continuing to improve upon our skills. We are practicing the 5 stages of writing: Pre-write, Rough Draft, Revise, Edit, and Publish. We are currently working on narrative writing.
Science and Social Studies: We are excited to announce that we will be having Friday Science/ Social Studies. This means that Fridays will be devoted to these 2 subjects. We will have projects and hands on activities to help engage students in these fun topics. Our current focus in Science: Forms of Energy, and in Social Studies: Native Americans.
