Literacy - We will use Wit and Wisdom, Fundations, and Heggety this school year. Below are links to program descriptions.
Writing – This year, we’ll focus on writing as a process, helping students understand that great writing takes time and practice. We’ll also integrate writing across other subjects to make it even more exciting! Throughout the year, we’ll explore sentence structure, storytelling, non-fiction writing, and poetry, all while having fun with our creativity.
Science and Social Studies - Our first science kit is all about the states of matter, followed by an exciting journey through space! In social studies, we’ll focus on communities, with a special emphasis on Anchorage and Alaska. We’ll have fun exploring our amazing city through field trips and many hands-on experiences!
