Children in this class are expected to read and write in Russian at the beginning of the year. In this class children continue to develop literacy skills through the use of leveled libraries, independent writing assignments and read alouds. Children learn how to select books for independent reading based on their interests and reading needs.  In reading conferences, and partner and group talks, children discuss stories they read independently and stories they listen to during read aloud time.  Children are exposed to grammar by studying main orthography rules. At this age students learn to recognize the softness of consonants and practice reflecting them correctly in their writing. Children write their personal stories and practice using grammar rules they have learnt.

MONDAYS/WEDNESDAYS, 3:30 – 6:00 pm

Please note that class schedule may change for next academic year.
