Literacy
Footprints through Literacy, a non-profit (501c3 pending), provides literacy support that focuses on grammar, spelling, vocabulary, reading fluency and comprehension, and all of their applications such as literary analysis, writing (all kinds...descriptive, research, informative etc), public speaking, and other forms of communication. The program uses project led learning projects to develop speaking and listening, study, and emotional learning skills building as well.
SPRING SESSION will have the week off April 5-9.
We will be studying Ancient world history and science. The spring session will focus on the IRON age around the world. We will dive into cultures, geography, government, religion, literacy and STEAM of the age. Please sign up for Spring session by Friday, March 26th. This time frame will allow me to have materials sent out in time for the first class.
The spring program will focus on the development and enhancement of skills and strategies necessary for increasing self-confidence in literacy using Social Emotional Learning (SEL). We specialize in focusing on diversity, specifically the African American experience. We chose books and projects to discover and enhance our perspective on literary concepts. We explore the SEL concepts of social and self-awareness, responsible decision making, self-management and relationship skills using several mini projects.
We use a project based, holistic, non common core, spiral skill building approach to teach reading, writing, speaking/listening, critical thinking, and study skills.
The 5 subjects are taught together to provide students the opportunity to make seamless connections that are required for performing higher level thinking regarding reading, writing, and applying knowledge.
To ensure that the essential skills and strategies are acquired, we have created assignments and projects that encourage in depth, comprehensive, independent, and creative educational experiences.
We address the SEL concepts of social and self-awareness and relationship skills by completing a critical book analysis, a writing literary analysis essay (differentiated by appropriate ability), and a community crisis development critical thinking project.
We address the SEL concepts of responsible decision making and self-management by completing 4 study skills mini projects on time management, organization, prioritization, and note taking.
