PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT - LITERATURE!
Each week, we will be highlighting one of our programs or offering resources for parents to illustrate The Radcliffe Way!
Radcliffe teachers are committed to providing the very best education for our students. Professional development workshops and conferences are key components for teachers to stay current with teaching methods.
Tomorrow, the Literature Department teachers will
travel
to Washington, D.C. to attend the workshop, Fostering Critical Literacy Through Read Aloud and Accountable Talk, sponsored by the Association of Independent Maryland & D.C. Schools. Reading aloud and fluency practice
are
critical
to a child's ability to read for understanding, and it is something reading
and
literature
teachers at RCS practice daily. Comprehension skills are cultivated through conversation and help children build a solid understanding of what they are reading. This conference will focus on what teachers can do to further enhance these skills. We can't wait to bring back what we learn and use it in the Literature classes!

AROUND THE CREEK
Luke, Wyatt, Ben and Brayden show off their sight word art projects from Ms. Singer's Reading class.
Students collected materials in nature for this term's "Build It" Enrichment class!
Patrick does some syllable division practice in Mrs. Fish's Reading class while Ben works on spelling his sight words using Bananagrams.
Sammy in the Little Creek Four's Classroom works on his penguin math - counting each box on the right separately, and then deciding which box has more, then combining the goldfish in the penguin's tummy and counting again!
Wyatt practices identifying the four different types of sentences in Ms. Aburn's Language Arts class.
On Wednesday, Radcliffe's fourth through eighth graders participated in the National Geographic Bee! Students were asked increasingly difficult questions about geography, and congratulations go to William Stuart who came out on top! William will now
have the chance to advance to the State Geography Bee, sponsored by National Geographic. The top ten finishers were: Aiden Dunlap (runner-up), Ben Anthony and Daniel McDowell (tie for third), followed by Thomas Callahan, Liam Thomas, Timothy Magee, Luke Blackiston, Paige Holmes, and Logan Dean rounding out the top ten.
A big part of Radcliffe's Occupational Therapy is mastery and independence in life skills or daily living tasks. With cold and flu season upon us, Ms. Aly is working with the kids before every session on proper hand hygiene, and the importance of washing their hands!
