Literacy in the Classroom
This year, we are following the Expeditionary Learning (EL) Curriculum! This is a very rigorous and real-world curriculum. Each quarter, we have a unit focus as well as habit of characters. Our units of study include Learning Challenges Around the World (1st quarter), Frogs (2nd quarter), Literary Classics - Peter Pan (3rd Quarter), and Water Conservation (4th Quarter). Our literacy block is structured so that we spend about an hour each day as a whole group focused on learning on a reading or writing skill. Following that module lesson, we have about an hour of literacy rotations during which students practice skills from the whole group lesson and meet with me in small groups.
