SMALL GROUP WEEKLY UPDATE

SC1: Dr. Gitau, Ms. Hurley, Mrs. Minton-Phillips

SC6: Ms. Goldwire and Mrs. Moore

The SC1 and SC2 classrooms use the enCore adapted curriculum. This curriculum has 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 or more units simultaneously, if we chose to do so. For example, a teacher can use a Kindergarten unit, a 2nd grade unit, and a 4th grade unit to meet the different needs of those students. Each unit has an adapted Fiction book and an adapted Non-Fiction book. It takes six weeks to complete one full unit, we work 3 weeks with each book in the unit. In addition to reading, each unit provides activities related to vocabulary, writing, phonics, math, science and social studies.

The SC3 and SC6 classrooms use a reading program called Wit and Wisdom. It is an English language arts program designed to help students build knowledge and skills to develop their skills with reading, writing and communication skills.
