This year, grades 3-6 are implementing the English/Language Arts standards. Although a new curriculum is still a couple of years away, we are using a newly created pacing guide that will mean some skipping around between Open Court (our reading program) and our science and math curriculum. Our reading units will still follow the same progression, but some stories will be omitted.
