Language Arts Overview
In Threads Language Arts, fourth- and fifth-grade students develop a strong understanding of English grammar, practice weekly written compositions, and engage in reading and discussing literature with their peers.
Classes meet on Tuesday afternoons and are designed for students alongside their attending parent. While parental attendance is optional, observing class allows parents to better support their child in studying the material and completing homework throughout the week.
