Welcome to fifth 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 4th grade Language Arts curriculum. In this class, we will work through the fourth quarter of the 5th grade Common Core English language arts standards. Most weeks will have a lesson in, grammar, a word study, a story of the week, writing practice, 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. Below is a sample schedule for this course. I will adapt this schedule to fit the needs of the learners in each section.
