This year we are piloting a new K-2 curriculum from EL. Because of this, our literacy block will look different than it has in the past. We will have a literacy lesson about the topic, then we will have "Literacy Labs" which relate to the topic and to what we read in the literacy lesson. Finally, we will have a shorter traditional station block where students will participate in "Daily 5" (Read to self, Read with someone, Word work, Listen to reading, Work on writing).
Our expedition topics are as follows:
Topic 1: Toys and Play (Modified from the Kindergarten curriculum to fit our needs)
We will be doing Toys and Play for all of October and probably some of November
Topic 2: Tools and Work
Topic 3: The Sun, Moon, and Stars
Topic 4: Birds (tentative)
More information about the dates will be posted as we have a clearer idea.
