Students are enjoying company reading! Parents and relatives are welcome to come in and read with students on Mondays and Wednesdays from 2:00-2:30. Everyone enjoys this special reading time with adults. Come in and join us.
Narratives have been practiced in the last several weeks. Students are getting very good at using tools from the writer's tool box. Some of these tools include: designing paragraphs, using dialog, using similes, adding the motivation of the character, showing instead of telling and building a setting.
Fundations Spelling is used daily and students practice many words in the lessons. This curriculum systematically teaches word patterns to students. It allows for practice and problem solving to understand new words.
