Literacy Program
"Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire."
William Butler Yeats
The literacy program in the morning has three main sections, the Morning Routine, Direct Instruction and Literacy Centres. The day begins with the morning routine and follows with the teacher directly teaching and revising certain aspects of literacy either from the day before or introducing new knowledge. The morning program ends with the choice of 4 different literacy centres for students to choose from. Each centre offers students practice of a skill in literacy and it reflects a certain expectation from the French as a Second Language curriculum document (speaking, listening, reading, writing).
