What's New in Basic Skills

June into Summer: City Campus Grades K-5

Have a wonderful summer! It has been a pleasure to work with each of you. I wish our fifth graders the very best at BRMS!

4th and 5th Grade LA: Our 4th grade readers have completed their word study in the WIlson Just Words program.  Fourth graders have been working with words containing multiple syllables with combinations of all six types.  Fifth graders completed their REWARDS decoding and encoding intervention program just before state testing.  Both grade levels applied these skills to fluency drills using stories and articles outside of the programs.

4th and 5th Grade Math: Our sessions have been centered around completion of in-class assignments to provide continued practice with review of mixed grade-level skills. Those using First in Math licenses to practice times tables facts showed great improvement on their post testing! Log in information for home play is on the front of each child’s BSI folder.
