🇺🇸📚 History is coming to life in 3rd Grade!
Our 3rd Grade learners are diving into the American Revolution and building their understanding of our nation’s history!

📚✨ Learning in Action at SHELC! ✨📚
Mrs. Holmes provided targeted support and academic feedback as learners practiced their tricky words. As learners worked independently, she continuously circulated throughout the classroom, monitored their progress, checked for understanding, and provided assistance based on individual needs. 🎯
Learners remained actively engaged in the work while receiving just-in-time support to move them closer to mastery! 📖

Ms. Dunn’s learners were actively engaged as they reviewed the letters W, E, and U using a finger-count strategy. She explicitly modeled decoding, sound-spelling connections, and correct letter formation, giving learners multiple opportunities to practice and apply their learning.
The best part? Learners were demonstrating progress toward mastery of the lesson objective through active participation and independent practice! 🎯👏
This is what strong foundational literacy instruction looks like—explicit modeling, active engagement, purposeful practice, and learners doing the work!
