Parents Spot
Welcome to my parent page. I am going to give you an overview of the Language Arts program which consists of reading and writing.
We will be reading an array of short stories both fiction and non-fiction, poetry, essays and novels.
Writing genres consist of personal narratives, explanatory, poetry, persuasive and argumentative essays.
Some of the academic programs/sites I will be utilizing are as follows:
Newsela
IXL
Brainpop
Flocabulary
CommonLIt
Readworks
Ed Puzzle
Nearpod
TED Talk
I will also be incorporating activities for social emotional well-being.
Some things I will be emphasizing in my classroom are critical thinking skills, close reading and discussions through the use of TED Talks and Article of the Week.
I realize this will be a difficult beginning of the year for students, parents and teachers but with patience, humor and hard work we will get through this together.
