Leadership Jobs

To go along with our Westwoods Habits, and becoming a leader of our school community, we also have classroom leadership jobs!

Each child in the classroom has a job they are to perform at some point in our school day. They are getting to know all the different leadership roles of the room, however, they are becoming an expert at their particular job!

Ask your child about their leadership role in the classroom!

Skills this unit focuses on reviewing various spellings, with an emphasis on consonant sounds, high-frequency Tricky Words (words with spellings that do not play by the code rules), and one- and two-syllable words. 
Some examples and overall learning outcomes are: review letter-sound correspondences, read and write words with short vowel sounds, read and spell Tricky Words, read and write one- and two-syllable words, read and spell words with suffixes ‒ing and ‒ed, read, write, and pronounce words with past tense suffix ‒ed (pronounced three different ways), spell grade-level words correctly, and write sentences with correct capitalization and punctuation

Listening/Knowledge introduces four diverse fairy tales: “The Fisherman and His Wife,” “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” “Beauty and the Beast,” and “The Magic Pitcher.” While reading these stories, students consider characteristic elements of fairy tales and the problems characters face, as well as the lessons each story conveys.
Students then turn to the American frontier and delve into tall tales about Paul Bunyan, Pecos Bill, John Henry, and Casey Jones. In doing so, they learn about the characteristics of tall tales, such as the use of exaggeration and larger-than-life characters.
