Language Arts Resources

By the end of grade 5, you will be able to write longer and more complex texts such as book reports, biographical sketches, short essays, and movie or book reviews. We will focus on developing your writing skills through improving your sentence structures and expanding your vocabulary.

Here is an excellent resource to help you with your Language Arts homework and projects this year. Check out the essay map section for a web that will help you get your writing started. This link will also lead you to a number of fun and educational activities.

Here is another site that will focus specifically on helping you build your vocabulary. You can have fun playing games while you learn new words. Remember: if you are unsure of what a new word means, be sure look it up in the dictionary!
