Wit & Wisdom

Dear Families and Caregivers,

Welcome to the new school year! This year, your student will study an English language arts curriculum called Wit & Wisdom.  Great Minds® created Wit & Wisdom with the belief that every child is capable of greatness.  Your child will be challenged, positively and productively. They will build knowledge of the world and develop English language arts skills.  Wit & Wisdom students read and study award-winning fiction and nonfiction texts, famous works of art, videos, photographs, and more. These texts awaken and expand students’ curiosity.  Wit & Wisdom students also learn about compelling topics such as wordplay, Native Americans, and the integration of baseball.  Through their work with these topics and texts, students hone their abilities to read challenging texts and to write and speak clearly, logically, and effectively.  Wit & Wisdom students build strong knowledge and skills.
