Coach Rogers WIN class reviewed nouns, pronouns and verbs. They wrote sentences and worked on labeling the parts of speech in their own sentences. The students would share a sentence with the class and the rest of the class would label the parts of speech they were focusing on. WIN is part of our new schedule where our students all receive an additional 30 minute class of targeted instruction based around mathematics and reading.
