Monday - Thursday Schedule
* Our Monday - Thursday schedule is pretty consistent

Arrival- 8:45-9:15
* The first bell rings at 8:45 and students may start coming in the classroom
* We have math, reading, and writing morning work to help students master skills so it is important to be here during morning work time
* This is also a time for students to get themselves organized and ready for the day!
* The late bell rings at 9:15- students are marked tardy after this time
Reading- 9:20-11:00
* We begin our reading time with a lesson. It is very important that students are here and ready to learn so they don't miss the day's instruction and concepts.
* After a brief lesson, students begin reading centers and reading groups
* This is a time for students to practice comprehension, accuracy, fluency, vocabulary, and writing skills
​
