Daily 5/CAFE: our reading program is a differentiated approach that allows students to develop at their own level. We use CAFE (Comprehension, Accuracy, Fluency, Expanding Vocabulary) to enhance reading skills as we navigate "just right" levelled readers to learn new skills. We incorporate different reading groups and book clubs to enhance our experiences. Daily 5 is our Independent choice of Read to Self, Read to Someone, Listen To Reading, Word Work and Work on Writing while reading groups are being held.
Math/Daily 3: Our Math program also follows a differentiated approach, mainly working in small groups. Students navigate rotations for small group skills, independent review, and math games with technology. We also include daily practice with math fact review programs such as Rocket math and Xtramath, which can also be used at home.
Religion: Our focus is the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Communion. We enhance our relationship with Jesus in daily devotions, Spirit Groups, and Weekly mass. We enhance our sacramental preparation with workshops, visits from the priests, and baking unleavened bread.
Units of Study: We spend time in Social Studies and Science learning about Abraham Lincoln and the research process, dinosaurs, weather, and plants.
