ELA
We will focus on three main areas in reading. We will focus on reading comprehension, reading fluency, and phonics skills. We will use the Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Series called Journeys. Students will also have an independent reading book of their choice with them at all times.
We will focus on three main areas in writing. We will focus on vocabulary skills, spelling, and language/grammar mechanics. Students will also keep a writing journal that they will write in daily for their morning work. We will be doing various types of writing and there will be great amounts of creativity flowing in our classroom.
Communication skills are also a part of ELA. The communication skills that we will focus on are public speaking and listening and following directions.
All ELA tests will be given on Fridays!
