What's New in Basic Skills

April into May: City Campus 

Summer BSI invitations have been sent home during April!

Any groups with meeting times between 8:45-11:45 are on hiatus until NJSLA testing concludes in our building.

4th Grade LA: Students have been working on dividing 4 syllable type multisyllabic words for reading and spelling. Their work with isolated syllables on their syllable frames builds to words, wordlists, phrases, and passages in each lesson.  Some groups are also practicing fluency passages with note taking for each. 

5th Grade LA: Our 5th grade readers have been marking up word lists to practice fluency, accuracy, and spelling. Fifth graders focused on fluency passages from REWARDS and comprehension skills on their individualized i-Ready paths.

4th Grade Math: Our April BSI sessions focused on the students’ newest skill of long division.  Grid paper kept our columns organized as we worked through each step.  This skill was applied to related money problems as well.  I-Ready pathways continue to be practiced in each session.

5th Grade Math: Our April sessions have been centered around unit 6 content, especially decimal operations.  Individualized i-Ready pathwork continues.
