The SC classes use an adapted curriculum called enCore! There are a total of 36 units, and those units are banded by grade levels. All of our classes have multiple grade levels. Due to this, some classes might use two units simultaneously. For example, a class might use a unit for kindergarten through second and a different unit for grades third through fifth. Each unit consist of an adapted fiction book and an adapted nonfiction book. It takes six weeks to complete one full unit with three weeks per book.

For more information on our wonderful curriculum please visit the link below!

We began our new fictions books!

In science, Mrs. Bassery and Ms. Turnbull continued working on the solar system. Ms. Payne continued exploring light and shadows. Mrs. Banks continued changes in the environment.

In literacy, we will continue working in our fiction units. Each book has a variety of phonics built in. This changes every day. Depending on the book, the phonics could range from letter identification, letter sounds, counting syllables, or decoding words.

• Ms. Payne is using the book The Ugly Duckling.
  
• Mrs. Bassery is using the books The Tortoise and the Hare and Frog's Bright Idea.
• Mrs. Banks is using the book The Moon and the Hat.
• Ms. Turnbull is using the book Wild, Wild, Cat.

Mrs. Banks' class does not participate in state in assessments due to their grade-levels. This week her class will work on the following:

• Reading – Main Idea
• Math – Adding & Subtraction Real Life Problems
• Writing – Letter Writing
• Science – Change in the Environment
• Social Studies – Economics

In science, Ms. Payne will continue exploring light and shadows. Ms. Bassery and Ms. Turnbull will continue solar system and moon phases.
