I am currently a 4th grade teacher, but my administrator believes I "will be more of an asset with my strengths" in 3rd grade next year. Anyway, I'm trying to plan ahead and get very familiar with the LA content over the summer.
So far, I plan to take the LA Units/TE home this summer; compile the released SOL tests from the last few years for 3rd Gr. LA; and talk with our LA specialist about what I should look for in 3rd grade writing.
What else can I do (from your own teaching experience) to better prepare to teach LA all day to two classes? And no, I can't change my assignment... he wants us to teach it this way, so that's not an option. I just need advice in bringing up their SOL scores in the classroom... typically for some reason, our school's third grades do exceedingly well in Math SOLs, but not LA. "No one" seems to know why, but with half the grade level's scores on my shoulders alone, I need help!! Thanks!
