Language Arts Curriculum
Our language arts class encompasses several components: English, Reading, Spelling and Writing.
English:
Students will engage in daily language review involving parts of speech, vocabulary, editing and spelling. Students will also have practice in their English books, with periodic homework assignments.
Reading:
Our reading program consists of a combination of our literature book and trade books. We will explore different genres of books and poetry.
Spelling:
Spelling will consist of practice in our spelling book, with tests on Fridays. Additionally students will practice the first 600 words from the list, "The First 1,000 Most Commonly Uses English Words" in 100 word increments throughout the year.
Writing:
Students will have practice in the writing process-- from how to get ideas for writing to putting ideas on paper and eventually creating a final draft. We will focus on different types of writing--narrative, descriptive, analytical, and persuasive. We will learn our new writing skills to form our own classroom newspaper. Another culminating activity will be an Author's Chair.
