Beautification Day
Teaching and Learning Focus- 30 minute extended learning time
Here at Arcado each grade level team collaborated to make decisions based on the needs of that particular group of students.
Each grade level has been assigned support program teachers and special area teachers to assist in the instruction.
In Kindergarten: the focus is on literacy (reading and writing). Teachers are using interactive read alouds with mini lessons & guided practice.
First grade: the focus is on both math and reading instruction (rotation of days) remediation and enrichment. Whole group & small group instruction is used.
Second grade: the focus is on small group reading instruction. Teachers are utilizing student data to determine needs.
Third grade: the focus is on digging deeper into the social studies & science curriculum.
Fourth grade: the focus is on test taking strategies and test preparation.
Fifth grade: the focus is on Nonfiction texts, test taking strategies, and test preparation.
Our teachers find value in the additional learning time. Parents, thank you for your understanding and support!
