This year we will utilize the Fishtank program for Reading and Writing. This is a standards based, and comprehensive program that seeks to develop students into critical readers, writers, and thinkers.
Students will deepen their understanding of the world around them through thematically-aligned, knowledge-building units, embedded daily writing instruction, and frequent opportunities for in-class discussion.
