ELA (English Language Arts & Literacy):
This year the 4th graders will be working with "Journeys," our ELA curriculum. Students will work on grammar concepts, reading stories, and phonics and spelling skills. We will also be writing a lot as the kids learn, "OUR W.I.G is W.A.C!" which means "Our Wildly Important Goal is Writing Across the Curriculum!" We will work on writing narrative, opinion, and informative pieces that incorporate other subjects like Social Studies and Science.
The American Reading Company's 100 Book Challenge is back again this year! Students will be required to read their leveled books and log their reading steps nightly, 2 steps each weeknight, and 4 steps on the weekend. Don't forget to check out their "skills card" for more detailed information for their color level.
Here are some great websites to help practice ELA skills:
