Back Goals Curriculum Instructional Program ... Classrooms GOALS: Students will achieve or exceed Northside and Texas standards in all academic subjects. Students will achieve high levels of literacy (written and oral) in both Spanish and English and be fluent in both languages by the end of 5th grade. Students will develop an understanding and appreciation of both cultures. CURRICULUM: Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and NISD Academic Standards provide the foundation for instruction in all content areas at all grade levels. An interdisciplinary curriculum uses thematic units to integrate the content areas and help students make meaningful connections. Return to Top INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM: Students from two language groups attend class together in an optimum 50:50 mix, learning from one another and supporting each other in the acquisition of a second language. English speakers may enter at the Kindergarten level. Spanish speakers may be admitted at any grade level, depending on their level of literacy in Spanish and their oral English proficiency. Parents interested in enrolling their child in the Dual Language Program should contact the school principal.

Though the main emphasis in this course is writing, students have the opportunity to express their research through other media including web design, photographic essays, musical compilations, and drawings. By engaging themselves with the assignments, students will learn how to express themselves more clearly in academic and everyday life, and will gain the analytical skills to better understand life in the 21st century. Resources Convergences and The Curious Researcher are the two primary texts for this course.

English 201.22 Composition II Project 1 Literacy Autobiography Knowing how we became readers and writers, thinking about the role of literacy practices in our lives and how we identify and construct ourselves as readers and writers this gives meaning to our overall exploration of language this semester. As we share our Literacy Autobiographies in class, we’ll see the variety and range of experiences and understandings existing among even experienced readers and writers: some of you have probably been lifelong readers and writers while others probably didn't finish any novel assigned in high school. Examining yourself as a writer and reader, perhaps for the first time, permits you to reflect on the processes and approaches you have been using and to consider alternatives for the future. Consider your experiences as widely as possible, selecting those that seem significant, those that help you construct your account most effectively. Don’t limit yourself only to school experiences. Research shows that literacy (and learning of all kinds) is fundamentally social and that individuals acquire literacy as the result of a wide range of interactions. (Your esteemed teacher, by the way, will be writing his LA about comic books.) We become "literate" through a wide range of experiences, not necessarily only through schooling, so you will want to examine your past carefully and thoughtfully, discovering as much as you can about your "educational experiences" (broadly defined) and considering carefully how those experiences contributed to your becoming literate.

As teachers, our goal is to give second graders wings to fly. We want them to begin soaring through reading books that are carefully chosen for their leveled instruction and enjoyment. Every child is taught strategy tools to equip them to become fluent readers. We also want them to take flight with our mathematical building blocks. This comes from knowing their math facts up to 20 in addition and subtraction. Our science and social studies curriculum keeps us all flying with lots of hands-on excitement. A Sonoran Sky second grader loves school and every aspect of it. Our hope is that second graders will take their love for learning into the world to make it a better place.

This year's grant will be used to create programs in which CSUN students will help to boost the language and literacy skills of ninth graders at Reseda High School and encourage good reading skills among local preschoolers. "We are thrilled to have the opportunity to expand our work with the Starbucks Foundation. Their generosity has allowed CSUN service-learning students to use what they are learning in the classroom to benefit the community," said Maureen Rubin, director of the Center for Community-Service Learning. "This grant," she said, "will help address an urgent community need for college students to become actively involved in the education of young people who will unquestionably relate to them not only as tutors, but as role models and perhaps even friends." In the first part of the project, "The Language of Hope," CSUN students enrolled in Janet Cross' freshman composition class will become tutors/mentors to ninth graders at Reseda High who are having difficulty with literacy and language arts skills. The CSUN students will work with 50 to 60 youngsters who scored in the lower quarter on the Stanford 9 standardized test. In addition to an hour of in-person tutoring each week, the CSUN students will create an aggressive online writing program that will include nightly homework help.

Welcome to 5th Grade "I believe in the pursuit of excellence, the future lies within me." Chariots of Fire I am delighted to be teaching your child. I feel it is very important that the children be given every opportunity to succeed. Learning styles are different for every child. Hopefully, my teaching style meets the variety of needs for successful learning of all the children in the class. It is important to keep the lines of communication open and I hope that if you have any questions, you will not hesitate to come and discuss them with me. This packet should help answer some questions and help you understand some of our policies and procedures. PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION: A teacher is a sculptor, shaping the minds of children and carving a desire of the lifelong pursuit of excellence and learning. Through the teaching process, a teacher can help a child realize human potential, mold independent thinking, and transform learning into knowledge. OBJECTIVES: Cover the 5 th grade learning objectives as outlined by the Utah State Board of Education in the Utah State Core Curriculum. Strengthen work and study habits, stressing work completion.
