This year, many classes across the district will be piloting two new ELA programs. This means that our class will not be doing the same Expeditionary Learning lessons as other 5th grade classes.

• During the first trimester, we will pilot a program called "HMH - Into Reading".
• During the second trimester, we will pilot a program called "Pearson - My View".
• Our third trimester curriculum will be based on teacher and student feedback on the two programs. 

     I will continue to receive training on the new programs, but please be patient as it will require a bit of a learning curve. I was part of the pilot committee that looked at many different programs before we came to these two highly recommended resources. I know that the pilot committee would appreciate any feedback you may have, as well.
