Read.
In Language Arts, we work on our reading, writing, spelling and grammar skills. We will spend the year studying weekly stories along with reading strategies in our Pearson Reading Street curriculum. However, we will also be reading some chapter books as a class along the way.
With each weekly story, students will need to access materials online from the Pearson website. Students are given a login and a password at the beginning of the year. Please contact me if you ever need this information again throughout the school year.
Spelling City is a website where students can find the spelling lists for the entire school year. We handle spelling with the LtoJ method, which means there is no weekly test, but instead there is a quiz each week with 10 random words. We still study one list/spelling skill per week, so in theory, students will get more correct as the school year progresses. There will be one homework assignment each week to practice the specific skill taught that week.
Students can find all the lists on the website below:
