During English Language Arts instruction, second-grade students in Mrs. Laporte’s classroom at Van Buren Elementary School participate in structured small-group learning designed to address the diverse academic needs of all learners. These instructional groups allow for targeted differentiation, providing students with appropriate support and enrichment to strengthen reading, writing, and foundational literacy skills.
The implementation of these small-group learning opportunities is made possible through the support of dedicated community volunteers who collaborate closely with classroom teachers. By assisting during instructional time, volunteers help ensure that students receive individualized attention and meaningful practice aligned with lesson objectives.
This partnership between educators and community members plays an important role in fostering student growth and academic success. The continued involvement, time, and commitment of Van Buren’s community volunteers significantly enhance the learning environment and reflect a shared commitment to supporting student achievement.
