Overview: This year in ELA we will focus on developing each child's writing ability. Specifically, we will be looking carefully at how words are built, their parts and meanings, listening to and writing different genres of literature, and speaking. Help Opportunities: We are fortunate to have at least two teachers working in the room during ELA class. Students will receive very personilized instruction. They must take advantage of this opportunity by coming to class prepared to work. In addition, they may seek help during flex periods, after school and lunch. Homework: Students should expect homework in ELA three nights a week. It is important to complete it so that he/she is prepared for the following class. If your child is struggling with the homework please sign it so that we may work him/her the following day.
