Things aren't going well for my DD9 this year. She is spending all morning, 8:45 until 12:25 doing ELA. This is an hour more than last year! I am having a hard time believing that you need an entire hour more to teach 5th grade ELA versus 4th grade. She is miserable! Can I teach writing is my biggest concern? What do you use to teach writing to this age level? I have to decide by Thursday in order to send in my paperwork to the state. Thanks for any advice!
