Switching Classes
Students will be switching classes this year. They will have Mrs. Kleinschmidt for social studies for 25 minutes a day. They will have reading, guided reading, spelling, writing, math, and science with Mrs. Alley and Mrs. Liesman.
Curriculum 
- Reading- We will begin with the novel Holes. We will read the chapters together in class. Students will be assessed over the comprehension and vocabulary from the chapters.
- Guided Reading- Students will meet in small groups with me and Mrs. Liesman. Students will read leveled books at their reading level. They will have an assessment over the book when finished.
- Science- Our first chapter is titled Living Things. The first week of school we will create our interactive notebook and complete a team building experiment.
- Spelling- We will use Words Their Way for spelling. Students will get their new list on Monday and will test over the list at the end of the week.
