PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT - LANGUAGE ARTS!
Each week, we will be highlighting one of our programs or offering resources for parents to illustrate The Radcliffe Way!
 
Although Language Arts is the class where RCS students do much of their writing, the reality is that students are writing in most of their classes every day - even in Art, Enrichment, and Math! Below, enjoy some of the cross-curricular writing samples taken from a simple walk through the school.
