Class Experience

US Grade 6 - 8
Each week in this ongoing class, I will use engaging slides and activities to help students learn grammar skills necessary for reading and writing. Each class will focus on one aspect of grammar to reach mastery by the end of class. 

Each class will consist of an engagement activity, a mini-lesson on the topic of the week, practice using the week’s topic, a short game to practice the grammar skill, and an interactive activity for students to have a hands-on opportunity to practice. Activities may include: editing a paragraph, writing a paragraph, dissecting a sentence, worksheets, and more. 

The in-class worksheet practice will occur during the last 3-5 minutes of class. If you do not have access to a printer, your student can use a plain piece of paper instead.

Each week, an optional homework assignment will be given. Students can submit homework via comment or private message for feedback.

Students are welcome to join at ANY point in the year!
