The Language Arts 5 classroom is an exciting place where time flies. Students learn to love reading and writing as they explore great works of literature and poetry, immersing themselves in God’s beauty, goodness and truth. They come to class each day excited to participate and can hardly believe when class is over. 

Topics include: parsing and classifying sentences, identifying parts of speech and using them correctly, applying correct punctuation and capitalization rules; descriptive, narrative and expository writing, emphasizing eloquent sentence structure and using textual evidence; copywork and dictation exercises that not only reinforce grammar, spelling and usage, but also provide exposure to commendable sentence structure and presentation; daily poetry reading that enables students to explore eloquent expressive forms and learn how to use the English language more effectively in their own writing.

This class was formerly known as Language Arts Level 1 and has been renamed to more clearly align with the typical grade level of the students. 

Homework Habits: 2 hours/week
