Guided Reading - This is when we read in small groups to focus on reading strategies.

Read Alouds - An opportunity to foster students' love of many types of literature.
-
Writing - The children write everyday. Sometimes it may be letter formation, writing together, or journal writing.

We also study other science related topics such as nutrition, weather/seasons and animals.
