Learning resource classes provide support for small groups of
students with specialized instruction in core subjects.
Reading classes work on phonics skills, word attack skills, and
comprehension skills. These skills are taught at the students'
ability level. English classes focus on nouns, verbs,
subjects, and predicates. We also work on writing complete
sentences, paragraphs, and short essays. During resource math
classes we learn the basic operations of addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division of whole numbers, decimals, and
fractions. During study hall, we help students with homework
and test preparation. We work on study skills, as well as
organizational skills, at this time. Science and social
studies classes are also taught in the learning resource classroom.
We focus on the same topics, but provide instruction at the
students' ability levels.
Three program assistants
attend the regular classes to assist students and teachers.
They take notes and help students with notes and homework
assignments. In addition, they read test to students who
receive this accommodation. They also help keep track of
regular classroom assignments, as well as how students are
performing in the those classes. |
