Join me for a fascinating semester of Language Arts! Semester One will include 3 Unit Studies. 

 Students will be expected to do reading and writing on their own for homework. We will incorporate  grammar, vocabulary, and spelling throughout the semester as well. 

Students will learn through a variety of lectures, games, assignments, projects, and student presentations. 

Sample Scheudle:

Weeks 1-4: We will start off with Fairy Tales and Fables. Students will read classics together in class and be asked to share their favorite if we do not cover it together. Students will then be guided through writing their own Fairy Tales and Fables. Students will set up a notebook for spelling and vocabular. Students will complete a variety of vocabulary and spelling activities independently. Students will be assessed at the end of the unit through a game and quiz. 

Weeks 5-7: Poetry 
Students will continue to work in their spelling and vocabulary notebooks as we learn 12 styles of poetry! Students will be given a demonstration on how to fold a book to keep their poems in, but free to make their own style or use something they already have.


Weeks 9-16: Author Study- Roald Dahl
Students will create interactive notebooks that go along with each novel we read by Roald Dahl (list will be provided upon enrollment). The interactive notebook will include spelling and vocabulary for the novels we read as well as many fun activities. 

Each novel will be assessed through conversation in class. Comprehension questions will be provided for each novel and fit into the interactive notebooks. There will be many opportunities for students to work together as well as independently. If your student prefers to work soon, please let me know upon enrollment so I can keep a note. 

We will do a variety of projects including drawing, building, writing/book reports, cooking, crafts, food art, etc.  Please don’t feel like you have to go buy materials for any of the projects unless you want to. There will be plenty of ways to make each thing!

Be sure to join for Semester 2! Nonfiction and Fiction



Holidays: I have tried to account for traditional holiday schedules. If your student needs time off for other holidays/reasons during the semester please let me know and I will work with you to make up any days missed.
