ELA

English Language Arts is Reading, Spelling, Writing, and Grammar. We will work off of a Balanced Literacy approach to Instruction. This includes: Real Aloud (Teacher reading)  Shared Reading (Whole group: teacher and students)  Guided Reading (Small Groups)  Independent Reading with conferencing We will also use a workshop approach to writing. Students will have daily mini-lessons on writing skills, and then independently write about whatever they choose. The teacher will conference with the students as well. We will use these programs to supplement instruction: Trophies Reading Stories & Skills  Sadlier Grammar Workshop  Houghton Mifflin Spelling & Vocabulary --- Take 5 and "PICK" a Just-Right Book!
