This year we are starting a new program called Bridges. This program is designed to develop foundational English language, reading, and writing skills through four rotating centers targeted to different student literacy needs. Students develop oral English and as readers and writers through whole class mini-lessons, small group instruction, and daily independent practice. The ELA/ENL intervention program focuses on around three thematic language arts units designed around rich essential questions. Students read engaging texts above their independent reading levels and build academic thinking, language, and literacy skills.
