What's New in Basic Skills

November into December: MIS Grades 4-5

It was nice to meet with you during our November conferences!  BSI report cards will be included with classroom report cards in December.

4th Grade: Our 4th grade Wilson Just Words students are combining three syllable types to read and spell multisyllabic words. Each unit involves work with individual wordlists, phrases, and passages. 

4th grade math students have focused on supporting classroom topics leading up to their Unit 2 assessments.  As December begins, they are diving into fraction study and continuing their personalized work in i-Ready.

5th Grade: Our LA sessions with our REWARDS program have focused on all six syllable types, utilizing prefixes, bases, and suffixes.  This will help us to break apart to read as well as spell words utilizing various syllable types.  There is also comprehension work built into the program.  

Our math sessions have focused on long multiplication and division toward the end of unit 2.  Our early work in unit 3 has us investigating fractions. They are using their i-Ready accounts to move through personalized learning paths.
