5th Grade Classroom Guide and Course Catalog

Fifth grade students will receive instruction in Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. Science, History, Art, Physical Education, Music and World Language will be based on the California Content Standards. Coursework will consist of teacher assigned lessons using the K12 curriculum together with teacher-created instructional activities, and other learning activities as deemed appropriate for each student to achieve his/her academic potential. CAVA adheres to the minimum daily instructional time requirements recommended by the State of California. However, increased daily instructional time may be necessary to meet the individual needs of each student. All instructional time must be entered as attendance in the Online School management tools as well as be supported by work produced by the student and evaluated by the teacher.

Overview

This Classroom Guide includes an outline of the grade level learning objectives as well our classroom expectations, the

behavior expected from all of CAVA students, and what you can expect from your CAVA teacher. Each school day, you

will log in to the online school, complete both online and offline lessons assigned by your teacher, attend assigned Class

Connect sessions and submit requested work to your teacher. *Students with documented Individualized Education

Plans (IEP) are given appropriate accommodations as specified in the IEP. Please feel free to contact me or contact the

school’s Special Education department for more information.

**Please refer to the 2018-2019 Parent-Student Handbook for your school to familiarize yourself with additional school-wide information, policies and procedures.

Attendance and Activity Students are expected to log in to the Online School (OLS) and complete assigned work daily.

• Math: 60 minutes daily, not including supplemental instruction (enrichment, remediation, etc.) • ELA: 120 minutes daily, not including supplemental instruction (enrichment, remediation, etc.) • P. E.: 20 minutes daily • History: As assigned by your teacher (approximately 120-180 minutes per week) • Science: As assigned by your teacher (approximately 120-180 minutes per week) • Electives: As assigned by your teacher (approximately 60-90 minutes per week)

Live Instruction

CAVA offers students many opportunities for learning. One such opportunity comes in the form of live instruction. Live instruction is assigned to students in all grade levels and is provided by a credentialed CAVA teacher. This is in conjunction with the instructional support that is being provided by the student’s Learning Coach. Each student’s individual schedule may vary depending on grade, assessment scores, teacher assignment, etc. However, all students will receive some portion of the core course offerings based on the day-by-day and grade level breakdown below. The schedule below demonstrates the live synchronous instruction in Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math, and Science that is offered by grade level during fixed teaching blocks. The remaining courses and times in which live instruction will be offered will be determined by each student’s homeroom teacher. Note: English Language Arts (ELA) is comprised of multiple components that can vary from grade level to grade level. In 5th Grade, the following are components of CAVA’s Summit Language Arts program: Fifth Grade: Literature & Comprehension, Spelling, Vocabulary, Composition, and GUM
