Growing

A little garden seed

Is lying in its bed.

A warm spring sun

Is shining overhead.

Down comes the raindrops

Dancing to and fro - 

The little seed awakens 

And starts to grow

Our reading curriculum consists of units that are centered around a common theme.

Each lesson consists of answering the question of the day, a read aloud ( story or poem), word wall words, phonemic awareness, grammar, spelling, writing and differentiated reading instruction. We are also beginning a new phonemic program this year called Fundations that emphasizes letter sounds and "taps" out phonemes in words.



Our students will also participate in Daily 5 literacy centers/stations.  The children rotate through five stations that build fluency and promote independent reading.
