ELA-Benchmark-We will use the comprehensive online resources for this program daily, as well as some hard copy resources that you will pick up in a couple of weeks. This program includes social studies and science nonfiction content as well as great fiction texts. Benchmark will be our only ELA resource this year as all components are included. 

Book Bags: I will be sending home a Book Bag with your child. Your child should be reading from his/her book bag every single night for 10-15 minutes a night. Please keep in mind that every student has his/her individual literacy needs. Therefore, some students are able to read higher level books  than other students and some students need the extra support at school and at home. Thank you for your support in advance! I am a true believer that teachers, students, and parents should work together as a team for our students to be successful.
