Barnum Woods Teaming Plan
 

 

Text Box: In this plan, each student will have a home-based classroom, where he or she will establish a sense of classroom belonging. During home-based instruction, students will study science, writing, spelling, grammar and usage. Students will rotate to other classes to study several core subjects, including math, social studies, and literacy. A daily flex period has been provided in the schedule to meet the needs of students who may need additional instruction, or for those who may have missed classwork or assignments due to music lessons or attendance in support service classes.
