This month, our book on tape is "Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen.
Ms. Berger, the ESL teacher, and I have an ESL cluster during Literacy this year. We are following the same framework as all the other classes.
We begin class with a review of vocabulary. We learn a writing skill and a reading comprehension strategy. Soon, we break up into groups for Centers. Ms. Berger and Ms. Pape each provide direct instruction in reading and writing with small groups of students. During Centers, students are also reading independently and completing assignments independently.
