US Grade 4
Welcome to fourth grade English Language Arts! This series of 4 classes (Fall, Winter I, Winter II, & Spring) can be used as your student's sole ELA course for their year or as a supplement to another ELA class or curriculum. Students should have successfully completed 3rd grade Language Arts. In this class, we will work through the first quarter of the 4th grade Common Core English language arts standards. Most weeks will have a lesson in phonemic awareness, spelling patterns, grammar, a story of the week, and a class read aloud. We will also work on one long-term writing project throughout the quarter. In between classes students will be encouraged to spend 20 minutes a day independently reading. Students will be expected to contribute to class conversations and work in partners frequently. I believe in creating a classroom community where all students feel valued and safe to make mistakes and celebrate each other's successes. My teaching style is "I do, we do, you do" through this method, I will guide student learning to meet each student where they are at and differentiate their learning. Sometimes students may not be able to finish the "you do" portion of our lessons. What is not completed in class will be expected to be completed for homework. Below is a sample schedule for this course. I will adapt this schedule to fit the needs of the learners in each section. Week 1: Welcome to Fourth Grade Story - Ten Quips Consonants and Vowels Week 2 & 3 Nouns, singular, and plurals short and long vowels Q spelling rules Story - Buck Got Stuck Adjectives Week 4 & 5 Compound words CK spelling Short and long vowels Begin Writing project Week 6 & 7 Story - Story - Acorns for Peter Syllables R-controlled vowels Open/Closed vowels

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello,
My name is Amy Sneath and I am the creator of Moxie Learning. Our company of teachers aim to provide a world class education without the limits of physical location. We form true classroom communities that rival those of traditional school. Friendships and true connection alongside academic excellence are regular occurrences at Moxie Learning.
When I was in school, I fell victim to math phobia and believed I was "bad" at math. Now I pride myself on meeting students where they are at and building their confidence to see they can learn any concept. I have experience in traditional 3rd and 4th grade classrooms teaching math and have seen first hand the difference in student achievement when they build confidence in themselves. This creates a life long love of learning which is even more valuable than the specific skills they will learn in my classroom.
Our team of teachers have several years of online educational experience in various grade levels and subjects. Both of our teachers graduated college with honors and are life long learners themselves. We are excited to share our love of learning with your children!Reviews
