This 8-week 4th-Grade Language Arts course (Semester Two) meets or exceeds the common core standards for LA Grade 4.   

The course meets twice weekly for 8 weeks (16 classes)
.
The literature covered in this course includes five grade-level books with weekly in-class activities and book discussions.
The learner-provided books are: 
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang by Ian Fleming (ISBN # 978-0763666668)
Owls in the Family by Farley Mowat (ISBN # ‎ 978-0440413615) 
*Note there is another Owls in the Family book written by Ruskin Bond that we don’t read. 
Homer Price by Robert McCloskey (ISBN # 978-0142404157)
The Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl (ISBN # 978-0142410349)
Mrs. Piggle Wiggle by Betty McDonald (ISBN # 978-0064401487)
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary of Synonyms and Antonyms, Newest Edition, Mass-Market Paperback (ISBN # ‎ 978-0877799061)
I strongly recommend purchasing this simple inexpensive Dictionary of Synonyms and Antonyms because I use the terms in this book when creating all my vocabulary games and activities. 
 
This course includes a creative writing Unit in which your learner will be taught a new prompt during each class, and then they will be allowed to share their writing at the next class.  During this unit, students will write one personal narrative, one imaginative narrative paragraph, one imaginary persuasive paragraph, and one imaginative expository paragraph.  
 
Embedded within the course are grammar basics (teacher-provided materials) and writing skill lessons that begin with simple sentences and end with students writing three clear paragraphs of material (teacher-provided materials), and a strong focus on prepositions and their use in writing.  
 
My plan is to have all student progress reports and award certificates delivered within a week of the end of class.
学習到達目標

We are reading five age-appropriate novels in this course and comprehension and book discussion are a large part of the in-class activities, so I wanted to summarize the plot and the discussion focus of each book. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang by Ian Fleming The book Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was written by Ian Fleming, the famous James Bond author, for his children. In this wonderfully creative tale about the flying car, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Ian Fleming takes the reader along on a Pott family adventure. This adventure finds the family run off the road, almost drowned, blown up, and the children kidnapped (and rescued, of course). Through all of this, the brave Chitty Chitty Bang Bang never abandons the Pott family. This is a wonderful story of family support, encouragement, and commitment. Parental Guidance: During one of their adventures, the Pott family finds themselves in a robber’s cave hideout. The robbers have hung fake skeletons near the entrance to scare away visitors. The Potts family is not deterred from investigating the cave. During another part of the story, the children are kidnapped by the robbers. However, they are treated kindly and rescued without incident. Discussion Points: When discussing Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, not only will our discussion focus on the literary elements of this wonderful story, but also on the loving and supportive Pott family. Their dedication to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and one another is something to be emulated. Owls in the Family by Farley Mowat In early 1900 in Saskatchewan, Canada, the author, Farley Mowat, rescued and reared two horned owls. Children’s autobiographical books are rare, and this rare book is a rare gem, as well. As we read this book together, students will travel back to a time without cell phones, without televisions, a simpler time when children spent hours exploring out of doors. Farley and the owls, named Wol and Weeps, have many interesting and funny adventures in this short autobiography. Parental Guidance: There is a discussion of hunting in this book and at one point Farley’s father goes crow hunting. There is nothing graphic in the description, but it is a part of the story. Discussion Points: Compassion will be our focus as we read the autobiography, Owls in the Family. Farley and his friends show great compassion as they rescue and protect these two great-horned owls. Additionally, this wonderful story is written in the first person, so we will discuss how we are able to see the story from Farley’s perspective. Homer Price by Robert McCloskey The book Homer Price is written by award-winning author Robert McCloskey. He is most famous for his picture books, Make Way for Ducklings and Blueberries for Sal. This story follows the life of a clever boy named Homer who always seems to find himself in just the right place at just the right time. This book includes six short stories about Homer, the fictional town of Centerburg, and several of its quirky residents. Sometimes the stories are funny, other times series, but always Homer seems to be right in the middle of it all. Parental Guidance: In the first chapter, armed robbers steal $2000.00 and a suitcase full of aftershave lotion. No one is injured and they are later caught, without incident. Discussion Points: For Homer Price, our discussion focus will be on Homer’s patience, clever ideas, and practical helpfulness. His bright ideas often save the day for the residents of Centerburg. Additionally, we will discover how a short story is developed and then apply that knowledge by each student developing and writing their own short story. Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl It is hard to have a 4th grade Language Arts class without reading a Roald Dahl book. He was a prolific writer of excellent children’s books who seemed to understand the mind of a child. Fantastic Mr. Fox follows the story of a true family man (Mr. Fox) as he finds ways to provide for his friends and family during a tumultuous time. Being a clever fox, he outsmarts the local farmers at every turn, and with each frustrating defeat, the farmers try a new ploy to be rid of the entire fox family. Parental Guidance: In the chapter “Beans Cellar,” the characters stumble upon “Mr. Bean’s Secret Cider.” It is referred to as both medicine and liquor. Using guns, throughout the book the farmers are hunting Mr. Fox and at one point in the story, they shoot off Mr.Fox’s wonderful tail. Discussion Focus: As we discuss Fantastic Mr. Fox, we will focus on what makes Mr. Fox, fantastic. His perseverance, generosity, and bravery. We will then look for ways in which we can emulate these wonderful characteristics in our daily lives. Mrs. Piggle Wiggle by Betty McDonald Written by Betty McDonald in 1947, this wonderful book contains stories about the fictional, but amazing, Mrs. Piggle Wiggle. Mrs. Piggle Wiggle never had children of her own, however, she seems to know just what a child needs. Her upside-down home is always open to the children who drop by after school for cookies and milk, pirate ship rides in the backyard or imaginary games of all sorts. She is so popular with the children that parents begin seeking her advice with behavior issues at home. Each chapter of this book shares a different problem solved as only Mrs. Piggle Wiggle can. My favorite chapter is, The Fighter Quarreler’s Cure. I wonder which one your child will like best. Parental Guidance: The families in the story face numerous behavioral issues with their children and at several times in the story, it is suggested that the children just need to be spanked. However, Mrs. Piggle Wiggle always saves the day as she comes up with the wonderful “Cures” that allow the children to make the behavioral changes needed. Discussion Focus: Our discussion will focus on the unique “cures” that Mrs. Piggle Wiggle offers for each behavior issue that arises. Each cure is uniquely creative, funny, and effective. As we discuss these issues we will make applications to our own lives, discussing how we can improve our choices to benefit not only ourselves but those around us. At the end of this book, students will be assigned a thought-provoking writing assignment in which they have to decide, “What would you do?”

Using knowledge gained in my over 23 years of teaching, I will guide your students and the class discussions to focus on the positive and character-developing attributes found in the stories we read.  Additionally, using common childhood scenarios, we will brainstorm ways to show kindness and be inclusive as demonstrated by the characters in our stories.  All of this will be done while I assist your learner in improving their oral, visual, and written Language Arts skills.
