***No live meetings for this class***

Class Fees are $10 or 100 points per semester.

Join us on a journey to learn about Early American Civilizations and Fairy Tales, all while growing in your phonics, grammar, and writing skills! This First Grade Language Arts Anchor Course has the materials you need, from a Teacher Guide and Read Aloud Stories to Student Readers and worksheets, and even flashcards that you can print out to use! Be ready to dive in as we work simultaneously on listening comprehension while growing in our reading and writing skills!

Students will turn in 8 required assessments per semester. These required assessments alternate between investigating grade-level concepts by choosing an assignment from a choice board and turning in a curriculum check-in. Each choice board offers both online and pencil-and-paper options. The curriculum check-ins will be graded based on each student's progress in their individual curriculum. This new aspect of the class will encourage students to make progress through the grade-level class. 

Anchor classes are asynchronous, teacher-led classes. Students do NOT have a live meeting. Daily work is provided, and the anchor teacher grades the final weekly assignment. Teachers provide biweekly videos and add instructional supports to each day's lesson. For more information about the curriculum and assignments, please visit the Braintree website.
