What are we learning?
Curriculum for the Week:
Unit 3: Tell A Story
Students will research weather patterns and seasons. They will recall main ideas and details with support. Student's will focus on the sequence of a text: the beginning, the middle, and end of a story. They will learn to retell rich stories, and by listening to a variety of versions of traditional stories, recognize familiar storylines embedded in different settings with different characters. Students will sequence events of a story. They will also expand their narrative writing abilities by writing a complete thought on a topic and begin using writing conventions in their work.
Phonics: vowels- short u
Reading: Students will be able to identify story elements.
Writers Workshop: We will be working on narrative writing in relation to the stories we are reading.
Math: We will continue Topic 5: Numbers to 20.

What are Interventions?
Central Elementary frequently monitors our student’s progress in reading. Our staff uses these results to determine if an intervention in a specific area of literacy is needed. All grade levels will have 30 minutes daily built into their schedule for intervention time. Grade level teachers will provide students that are not requiring interventions with additional learning activities during this time. Grades 1-5 will begin intervention groups within the next couple of weeks and kindergarten students will begin following Fall Break. Teachers will share student reading progress at parent conferences.
