Small Group Weekly Update

We are so excited to see your smiling faces and to meet our new friends! We are going to have a great year learning and growing.

We have been busy reviewing and learning our classroom routines and procedures. We have been practicing our schedule of learning and working in our reading and math centers. We enjoy going to daily specials with our general education peers. This year a new special has been added to our rotation - Spanish! It is so much fun! Each day we go to either PE, Art, STEM, Spanish, or Music.

Our small group classrooms work with the adapted curriculum enCore. There are a total of 36 units; each grade level (K-5) has 6 units each. Because our classes have multiple grade levels we can use two units simultaneously. For example, a teacher can work with a Kindergarten unit and a 5th grade unit to meet the different needs of students. Each unit has an adapted Fiction and Non-fiction book. It takes six weeks to complete one full unit, we work 3 weeks with each book in the unit. Each unit provides activities related to vocabulary, writing, phonics, math, science and social studies.
