Welcome to the World of Words.
On this page you will find policies that are important to the class, syllabi and helpful pages and websites.
In class students are now working out of the SpringBoard books which provides fun and engaging activities. At home they need to be reading 30 minutes a night, self-selecting their reading material. If you wish, you can also read to or with your child.
