Language Arts Curriculum
Our language arts program, Wonders is literature based, and is structured around ten themes. Each theme has a "Big Idea Question", and for each of the three weeks of instruction within the unit, there will be a "Weekly Concepts Essential Question". Please carefully review the weekly newsletter to see what we are studying each week. It will be helpful for you to review these concepts with your child. Please look for a letter that will explain how to log-on to the Wonders web-site. You will have access to all of your child's books online.
