ELA

We explore English Language Arts using our Wonders curriculum by McGraw Hill. Throughout each unit, students will enjoy opportunities for self-expression through reading, writing, and speaking. We will build vocabulary, write, practice spelling words, listen and respond to reading, and engage in fun phonics and word work activities.
