Upper Division Classes 2023 - 2024
In the 2023-2024 academic year we are offering the following groups:
8 year olds
In this class children continue to develop literacy skills through the use of leveled libraries, independent writing assignments and read alouds. Children learn how to select books for independent reading based on their interests and reading needs.
In reading conferences, and partner and group talks, children discuss stories they read independently and stories they listen to during read aloud time. Children are exposed to grammar by continuing to practice some main orthography rules they already know as well as learning some new ones. Children write their personal stories and practice using grammar rules they have learnt.
