Schoolwide Reading
All of the units include interactive read alouds, shared readings, and a large emphasis on independent reading at the students' independent levels. Spelling We will use Words Their Way as our spelling program. It is a word study program that is meant to strengthen understanding of words and spelling patterns. The word sorts are differentiated and students are expected to practice their sorts at home nightly. New words will be introduced on Mondays and Spelling Tests will be given on Fridays. |
Math
We are using the Bridges in Mathematics program again this year. Your child will learn new math concepts by participating in activities, playing games, and completing independent work. The following apps are on your child's iPad to help them practice math at home: Dreambox, Prodigy, Freckle, and Pet Bingo. Science and Social Studies I will be alternating science and social studies. We will complete a unit in social studies, and then do a unit in science and so on. The students will receive a study guide in both subjects prior to tests. |
