For some of our subjects this year we will be using a modified block scheduling approach. That means during alternating  marking periods we will spend more time on social studies or science and not teach the other subject. Every day we will have language arts and math.  During the week you will have special instruction time like library, Spanish, physical education, art and music.

Language Arts

Language arts literacy is a core skill that children need to master to be able to succeed in the world today. This involves more than just being able to read. Click here for the NJCCCS for Language Arts. Students need to know how to listen, follow directions, speak confidently, and write effectively.

We use a literature infused curriculum to aid in attaining literacy. This is a useful site to help your child with literature selections. Newbery Award Winners or look at the page for best selling children's books.
