Anchor 5th Grade ELA

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

Class Fees are $10 or 100 points per semester.

In our 5th-grade Language Arts class, we take a tour of the genres. In the fall, you get to choose your own novel to study. Next, you will learn about research as you create a research photo essay. In the spring, we dive into presentations as we create a PSA to warn people about natural disasters! You will also get to have fun with Greek and Latin Roots and dive into the world of Historical Fiction. Come learn with us. 

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.
