The district has established a recommended reading list of children's literature at each grade level. We have purchased class sets of many of these books. Teachers are reading literary works to students. Students have the opportunity to read, write, listen and speak daily. All children receive guided reading instruction daily.
Students meet in small groups with their teacher in order to accelerate their learning.
All of these activities are in alignment with the California State Framework. Students are involved in daily mathematics activities. Emphasis is being placed upon the use of higher-level thinking skills and problem solving. Manipulatives and calculators have been purchased for use in classrooms. The leadership at the school has a clear expectation for student behavior and high achievement.
