Reading

practice in traditional phonics, reading fluency, comprehension, grammar, and writing.  Anthologies, library books, experience charts and journals support learning.

Grammar/ Writing
Shurley English sets a solid foundation in grammar in a new and exciting way.  Students use rhythm and a set of specific questions to classify sentences.  They learn how all sentence fit together to make sense and express an idea.  This knowledge of sentence structure teaches students to express their own ideas through formal and creative writing.

Social Science
Social Studies and Science are based on the Core Knowledge Sequence Content Guidelines, which is a detailed outline of specific content taught in history, geography, and science.  Students explore this content through independent reading, group projects, and research including traditional resources in the library and internet.
