What's New in Basic Skills

May into June: City Campus Grades 4-5

*Morning sessions were on hold during NJSLA testing weeks.

4th Grade LA: Our 4th grade readers have been continuing their word study in the WIlson Just Words program.  Fourth graders completed unit 13, final stable syllables. This includes choosing -sion versus -tion and reading and spelling longer words ending in consonant-L-e.

5th Grade LA: Fifth graders completed the REWARDS decoding, fluency, and comprehension program. They practiced fluency with Read Naturally passages, and our late morning group learned some EmPOWER essay planning strategies.

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 during this month of standardized testing.  End of year diagnostics were completed for i-Ready. One on one Forefront Universal Screeners for Number Sense were also conducted.
