Classroom Learning
Language Arts
Our Language Arts program is an adaptation of Orton-Gillingham techniques. It is a sequence of explicitly taught language skills that engages a multi-sensory approach. Through visual, auditory, and kinesthetic modalities, the children learn phonemic awareness, phonics, and fluency with comprehension strategies. Lessons are tailored to the individual needs of your child.
Leveled Literacy Instruction
During guided reading lessons, we use a variety of instructional methods to teach reading. We use shared reading, phonics, and independent reading. Instruction is geared to the individual level of your child. Students also write about the books they are reading.
Writer's Workshop
During Writer's Workshop time, we express what is important in our lives. We share our expertise, our knowledge, and our experiences with the world around us.
Math
Students will be using the Everyday Mathematics Program, which spirals old and new concepts throughout the year. Multi-Sensory Math techniques will be infused in each lesson to build Math competency. In Math class, students will have the opportunity to strengthen previously learned skills as well as learn new concepts from the NJ standards. Students will benefit from daily practice of addition and subtraction math facts.
