Language Arts

The Language Arts block (ELA) has many components. During this time, students are learning Reading, Writing, and Spelling skills. Our block consists of a whole-group lesson that includes decoding skills, comprehension, vocabulary and spelling. We have Small Group Stations daily, where students rotate through four stations, spending 15 minutes at each station. The stations are:

Group: Students meet with teacher to work on various skills and/or read a leveled reader to practice fluency

AR: Students read independently 

Word Work: Students complete sheets relevant to daily skill and/or weekly spelling words

Chromebook Work: Students work on writing, or IXL assigned skills


Assessments: Students will take weekly assessments over the Reading skills from the week on Fridays. 

      Other grades will be from Reading skill sheets, writing assignments, spelling, and IXL skill completion.
