Engaging Language Arts semester course. Students will read and discuss four books across a variety of genres and practice basic 4th / 5th grade grammar topics. Optional writing projects are included. A great supplement to any homeschool.

US Grade 4 - 5
NOTE: The material for this course is based on accepted fourth/fifth grade level language arts standards. It may also be appropriate for those outside this range. I am willing to accept ages 9-11 in this class, if appropriate for a student's skills, and I am always willing to communicate with parents regarding any learner's placement. The 2025 Spring classes will meet twice/week for 12 weeks (24 classes) -------------- LITERATURE: √ "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" by CS Lewis...
