The classroom library is not just put into one part of the classroom; there are books on almost every wall of the classroom, therefore making the entire space a library for the students.
The classroom library is separated by genre and skill level. There are stickers on the books and boxes so students know what genre the section is and if it is at their reading level.
Students can take books out when ever they want as long as they sign them out and return them in a timely manner.

Instructional programs are used to support the core literacy program, which is Fountas and Pinnell. One program used to support literacy instruction is IXL. Here, students can go on their computers and work independently. They read excerpts and answer both multiple choice questions and short response questions. Student performance on IXL can influence their small reading groups when they reading Scholastic.
T-charts and anchor charts are posted throughout the classroom to support the students, motivate them, and allow them to reflect on what they learned and support them throughout the day.

Ability grouping and tracking is seen in the classroom everyday. Fountas and Pinnell is used to split students into groups based on their reading and writing levels.
These groups are flexible to allow students to improve their skills and move to a group that is more challenging, or move down to a group that better fits their needs.

Teachers spend a lot of time devoted to literacy instruction in both whole group and small group instruction. In small groups, they work on their oral reading and responses. In whole group instruction, they listen to a teacher read chapter by chapter of the novel they are reading; they are reading the Percy Jackson Series this year. After, they are separated into their small groups again and work on they "Claim, Evidence, Analysis" responses which they will be required to do on the state tests"

Learning Targets are represented in the classroom before each lesson. So students know what their objective is, they go over an "I can" statement that correlates with the standards.

Number of students/teachers in classroom

There are 34 students in the 6th grade classroom. 17 of these 34 students have IEPS

There are 4 teachers in the classroom. 2 of these teachers are general education teachers and 2 of these teachers are special education teachers.

There is also one teacher aid who works one-on-one with one students, and one push in teacher who comes in the second half of the day to work with another student individually.

# data[].attributes.body
There is a reading interventionist that works as a push-in teacher. She is called the reading teacher by the students because she also pulls students out to work with them  to further develop their skills.

When the reading interventionist pushes into the classroom, she works on developing their DBQ skills. She will begin by giving them sample examples of good and bad responses and then split the students up into small groups to work together with one of the 4 teachers and develop a response.

When the reading interventionist pulls students out of the classroom, it is to give them the individual attention so the teacher can meet the students needs and develop their skills.

There are two students who are labeled as ESL. These students have a variety of supports that help them develop their English skills and communicate throughout the day.

One support given to these students are visuals. Although directions are always written in English for the students, they are also given diagrams and pictures when ever necessary to help them decode the directions/expectations. Students also see the ESL teacher throughout the week to help develop their skills independently.

Differentiation is very important for these ESL students to help them feel comfortable and not overwhelmed. For instance, scaffolding throughout the day with the native language of the students, which is Spanish. The teachers try to integrate their native language as much as possible, both verbal and written.
