Math

Math instruction is all standards based. In the classroom we work with a curriculum called Go Math. Students receive daily math instruction and engage in a math workshop. During the math workshop, Mrs. Nazarian meets with small groups of students to work on math at their instructional level. In addition to our district adopted curriculum, Mrs. Nazarian delivers CGI (Cognitively Guided Instruction) lessons. We also utilize a variety of math practice programs. Check these out!

Reading/ English Language Arts

Reading instruction is all standards based. In the classroom we work with a curriculum called Wonders. Students receive daily reading/ language arts instruction as well as guided reading sessions.
