Curriculum
Math: Mr. Barnes is using the Envision Math Program
as well as the Aleks Math program to teach math topics. Students are also
working on becoming Math Fact All Stars! In addition, the Math Skill Test is
given periodically to check for student growth.
Spelling/Vocabulary: Spelling and vocabulary
lists will be given for each FULL week this month. Spelling Tests will usually
be every Friday. We will correct ALL spelling work in class on Friday, so
students need to be prepared with the assignment done! Students have access to their spelling lists
located in the SCHOOL TO HOME section on their Wonders Web site (connect ed)!
They need to be STUDYING THE WORDS BEFORE FRIDAY TESTS!
Reading:
We will be
reading the basal and working on fluency, comprehension, and text analysis. Remember
that each Wednesday is BASAL HOMEWORK NIGHT! Students need to bring their basal/Chrome
Book home to reread the story. Make sure your student is doing 20 min of
reading Sun-Thurs with a parent signature on their planner sheet.
*Each
week, students who complete their reading with 5 parent signatures, turned in
ON TIME, will receive 1 Read to Ride ticket for the end of the year bike
drawing.
Writing: We will practice the
writing process, the six +1 traits of writing, and language arts will be
integrated into this subject. We will practice the Four Square Method of
organizing writing. This month we are reviewing the three types of writing we
have learned throughout this year: expository, argumentative, and narrative.
Language
Arts: We
will be using the online program IXL to practice Language Arts Skills. Students
will receive certificates for completing and mastering language arts concepts
