Language+Arts

Welcome to Language Art!

Contact info: **Curriculum:** In Language Arts we will begin each day by writing in our journals to practice getting our ideas on paper and organized. The journals will be kept in the classroom, but encourage your child to bring home the journal every now and then to share his/her writing with you.

Each quarter we will focus on a specific type of writing (narrative, expository, descriptive and persuasive) and develop a piece that will be assessed for the 6+1 Writing Traits and other learning goals.

Academic Vocabulary Words (BAV):

**Grading:** Academic Grade: 80% of the student's grade will be based on his/her understanding of the learning goals. The student will demonstrate his/her understanding of the learning goal(s) through a paper we write in class. The papers can be revised (similar to retaking a test) during Life Ed or afterschool.

Non-Academic Grade: 20% of the student's grade will be based on in-class work, homework and participation.
