Guided Reading As students make progress, they will move to a
group that is appropriate for their level Students may meet with a group in a different
classroom in order to meet their individual needs As students begin to read chapter books, they
will be a member of a “book club.” They will be responsible for reading their assignment independently to prepare for group discussions

Grammar Homework given once a week that
practices the week’s grammar skill.

Writing Step Up to Writing:
This is the writing tool we use that focuses on making the writing process simple and easy to remember. Students will become familiar with the 3 main elements in expository writing by relating them to colors- green, yellow and red.
Expository Writing Green – Topic Sentence: The main idea
of the paragraph Yellow – Subtopic: Give the reader the
fact that relates to and supports the topic sentence, using transition words. (first, second, third)
Red – Details: Give the reader an example or reason for the subtopic.
Green – Conclusion: The topic is restated. (in conclusion or as you can see)
