Curriculum

Third Grade:

TC running records help give the kids a range of levels from which to choose a Just Right Book.  The levels also helps parents be able to see which books work for their children when they shop for books outside of the classroom library.

The read aloud used during Reading Workshop help the students to share, discuss and eventually write about their reading.  We have rich conversations about characters and what they are doing, as well as learning how to find evidence within the text that supports our ideas. 

Acadience is also being used as a screener.  

 

Fourth Grade

This year students are expected to be at levels S/T.   We use the Teacher's College Running Records. Their reading grade is partly determined by their reading level, but it is also based on how they do on end of unit assessments and classwork. 

 

Fifth Graders

This year students are expected to be at levels V by the end of the school year.  Our Fifth Graders are using Teachers College Benchmark Independent Reading Levels. 

Their reading grade is partly determined by their reading level, but it is also based on how they do on end of unit assessments and classwork.
