 * I am one of the Resource Teachers for Lee R. Foster School. This is my 12th year in the district. I will be working with the 5th grade students this year.**


 * All of my pullouts in the morning are focused on Reading. I pull out three reading groups and each group meets for a half hour. With one of the groups, I'm working on Wilson to further their skills in decoding. The other two groups, I'll be working on the skills that they are working on in the 5th grade curriculum. I try and modify some activities to the students level, but they are still focusing on the same skill.**


 * From 11:05-12:05, I have a Math Core group. In this small group, the students are working on the 5th grade curriculum but at a modified level. The students are working on multiplying and dividing whole numbers. The students are also working on finding the area and volume of simple shapes. As a group, we also go back to work on their IEP goals to make sure they are continuing to understand adding, subtracting, telling time and money skills.**


 * In the afternoon, I pull out my students who have writing goals. We have worked on adding more details to our writing. We have also worked on listing details before the students begin to write. This helps with the brainstorming process.**


 * I look forward to watching the growth and progress of each child!**


 * If you have any questions and/or concerns, please do not hesitate to call me at any time.**


 * Parents, thank you for being supportive and a crucial team player in the growth of your child! Also, please make it part of your nightly routine to practice reading with your child!**


 * Sincerely,**
 * Mrs. Melissa Joniak**
