Our CUBE teachers also reinforce learning during the weekly CUBE lessons. We spiral back to previous learning to keep skills fresh. We consistently monitor student learning and offer extra help in the classroom to ensure understanding. Formal assessments are administered quarterly.
LiteracyReading strategies and skills are introduced whole group and then reinforced through Literacy Stations and Guided Reading groups.
