NOT YOUR AVERAGE CLASS
This class is not a second, grade level language arts class; it is an elective
class.
There is no homework, EVER!
This grade has no relationship to how your student is doing in their regular
Language Arts class.
All work is done in class and never taken out of class. Supplies included.
We have a reduced class size to help students focus and get more access to
a teacher.
Students can work to exit from the class at trimester based on LA grades,
work completion and baseline testing scores.
HOW DO YOU HELP?
We have set routines with high structure to practice various
language arts skills.
Pre-teach and reteach highly impactful skills
Work on classroom behavior, academic choices, and time
management.
Build self confidence and understanding through broken down and
chunked assignments.
Support their Language arts class work and AR goal with time to
work with teacher and seek assistance.
ROUTINE: MONDAY AND THURSDAY
The students walk in and do a daily sentence
correction
Activity or concept focus of the week including
notebook notes.
Reading and comprehension activity
Writing practice
WEDNESDAY WORK
Complete any work needed for a notebook check of all
completed assignments from this class.
Time to work on any assignments from their Language
Arts class with help from me
Time to read their AR book, visit the library and take an
AR test
Notebook check, B&B (backpack and binder) and grade
check
WHY DO THEY NEED ME?
Middle school is DIFFERENT:
No named papers are thrown out
7 different teachers, styles, classes, procedures, and classmates
42 students per class, stay focused
Behavior expectations are higher
Organization is KING! Don’t procrastinate.
Block Schedule (I see your student for 1hr 35 min ever other day)
No meetings/conferences with individual teachers, only team
meetings
