Language Arts

Lately, in Language Arts class, students are working on being “fearless” spellers by stretching words and sounding them out instead of asking the teacher how to spell words. On Wednesdays, students practice reading and analyzing short articles using the 5 W’s (What, Who, Where, When, Why). Students also continue to work on their memory and listening comprehension by listening to the story The Adventurer’s Guild and having class discussions about the events of the plot and writing in their journals. On Mondays and Fridays, students are continuing their work in the First Author Writing Curriculum. Currently, students are working on the concept of brainstorming topics for writing.
