3rd Grade Back to School Night Slide Show
How is EBLI Different from Traditional Instruction
EBLI stands for Evidence-Based Literacy Instruction and is a system of strategies in our reading and spelling instruction. EBLI is different in that we teach students to access the sounds in words when reading and spelling rather than letter names. We teach patterns of the English language rather than rules. The following blog post will provide you with additional information to help you understand the difference between EBLI and traditional phonics instruction.

Homework
Our biggest goal with homework is for students to read each night for a total of 100 minutes each week. Homework sheets are due every Monday morning, signed by a parent. Students will be graphing the minutes they read each week to see their progress over time. Please let us know if you have any questions.
If your child every forgets his/her homework sheet, we will keep this blank one linked to our blog each week for you to make a copy.

Students in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade have the opportunity to be a part of our LIncoln Student Council. Details will be shared with students this week.
