Reading:

Many approaches to reading are used in the class.  Generally speaking, we use the Daily 5 and the Literacy Cafe framework. Depending on the needs of the children we may also use specific programs such as ReadWell and REWARDS. 

Each child is encouraged to read at home for at least 20-30 minutes daily.

Technology Skills:

We were very fortunate to have a SMART Board installed in our classroom.  The board is an interactive white board.  Students can manipulate objects, write, draw pictures as well as complete any SMART Board assignments I've created. We can use the board in a variety of subjects (ie. Math, Science, Language Arts, etc.).  It's quite exciting!

We also have a class set of computers that we are able to sign out and use.
