Language Arts
Through an integrated Language Arts program and a novel study, students are introduced to written language using grammar, creative writing, and reading comprehension skills. They participate in reading activities using phonics, comprehension, vocabulary, writing, and language arts skills. When they complete the program, students will demonstrate the ability to spell words and use phonetic rules on practice activities and weekly tests. Every class visits the library for 30 minutes weekly to give the students the opportunity to select and read books for enjoyment as well find resources for class assignments and activities.
