** 4th Quarter: Mrs. Schraven. **

** All Students: ** All of our activities are to aid in their English development and success and confidence in their academic and social lives here at school. We work closely with each classroom teacher so that the activities that are completed may be directly applied to their learning within their classroom.

** Writing: ** We have a new portfolio of writing for this quarter. The "READING" booklet that you see is the 3rd quarter writing projects for you to enjoy! I will be sending on the 4th quarter daily workbook to next years ELL or Classroom teacher.

** 4th Qtr. Reading Contest : ** We will now not only send books home for your students to read, but they will be reporting on them to their friends by answering some questions about the book. This quarter, each student selected their own reading goal. (It had to be higher than their 3rd quarter goal). Each small report will be taped into their Home reading book, after I check them. Any student that completes their individual reading goal for the 4th quarter will be able to celebrate during that last week.

The 5th grade class will not have the reading contest, as their curricular reading load is preparing them for middle school.

** Classroom Curriculum: ** The ELL elementary department meets with each grade level teacher once a week to support their lessons by helping with pre-teaching, supplementing, reviewing or aiding in accommodations of the assignments so each student understands the classroom curriculum and can complete any assignment with their present level of English.

** Technology ** is used for many of our project "presentations".

** Poetry Unit: ** 1st-4th graders will be composing a variety of poetry or songs with different models (eg. Alliteration, rhyming, diamante, Cinquain, prose) Each different language level will use the appropriate English level for their poems. These samples will be produced for their Fine Arts week book in May.

** Curriculum Units/Vocabulary/Projects: ** As with all year, our resource activities for ELL work together with what the classroom is doing in order to produce high quality work within the curriculum.

** END OF THE YEAR TESTING: ** Each student will complete the end of the year LAS test in May. The results of their improvement from August through May will be reported on the narrative section of the 4th quarter ELL report card.
