Six Minute Solution

We a have started the six minute solution. The Six Minute Solution is a reading fluency program. "The goal of the program is to help teachers provide students with concentrated practice on phonetic elements, sight word vocabulary, and expository passage reading in order to build overall reading fluency and boost achievement."

"Six Minute Solution is based on the research of repeated readings and peer-assisted learning strategies, and partner reading is the primary activity of the program."

addtional information can be found at www.fcrr.org/FCRRReports/PDF/SixMinuteSolution.pdf

or google six minute solution.

Better yet, ask your child about what he or she does during the six minute solution.

Instructional Programming at Westerly Creek, 2011-2012 School Year

5th grade
Westerly Creek will have two classrooms next year. If demand exceeds this for WCE and William Roberts’ projections, an additional classroom will be established at WCE to meet the needs of the community.

2nd , 3rd and 4th Grade
Westerly Creek will have four classrooms for each grade level next year. An ideal class size is 25 students per classroom.

Happy New Year

We will see you all tomorrow. Remember we are flip-flopping schedules. Those that had Ms. Grant in the morning, will now start in my room for literacy. Consequently, those that started the day with me in 2010 will start in Ms. Grant's room.

On Wednesday, students will receive their book club books and notebooks but we will NOT have a formal meeting.


Don't forget your signed reading log for Friday!
