English Language Development in Science
Literacy skills are critical to building
knowledge in science. Reading in science includes understanding the nature of
evidence used and an attention to precision and detail. Furthermore, students
work on making and assessing intricate arguments, synthesizing complex
information, and following detailed procedures and accounts of events and
concepts. Writing and presenting information orally are key means for students
to assert and defend claims in science, demonstrate what they know about a
concept, and convey what they have experienced, imagined, thought, and learned.
The social studies expectations for literacy
learning in grades EY5/KG–5 are established through the four strands of
reading, writing, speaking and listening, and language. Students are asked to
read texts closely to both determine “explicit” information lodged within the
body of the text as well as draw “logical inferences” based on the text.

Next week is the culminating activities for the Upper

The purpose of this is to educate parents about our ARC
Learn-to-Swim program, showcase student progress with a parent audience, give
our students a goal to strive for, and end the unit with a fun activity for
all.
