Reading/Language Arts
Our reading series is called Storytown. During our reading block, students will spend time developing their reading fluency, vocabulary and spelling skills through small group instruction and learning centers. Reading tests will be completed in class to monitor student growth and comprehension. We will also have a weekly spelling test each week. Along with our reading instruction, our class will spend time each day developing their writing skills during writer’s workshop.
Math
Our math curriculum is called Holt and this series covers a variety of topics. There will be nightly homework, but there will be time given throughout the day for students to finish a majority, if not all, of their work.
Science
All science topics will be taught by Miss Murcek. Some of the topics students will be studying this year are: Design and function of technology, growth and survival, classifying, ecosystems, and Earth/ Space.
Social Studies
All social studies topics will be taught by Mrs. Schomburg. The main focus is World Geography and an in-depth study of several countries.
