Welcome to Wild and Unstructured Learning's 1st Grade English and Spelling class, where young learners embark on an exciting journey through the world of language! Our 1st Grade reading, writing, grammar, and spelling class is designed to be fun, engaging, interactive, and inclusive for all students. We will write our own stories, poems, and letters. We'll build our writing skills while expressing our creativity. Learning grammar rules is made exciting with games and challenges. We turn sentence structure, punctuation, and parts of speech into fun activities that help students grasp these concepts effortlessly. If you need financial help please reach out and inquire if we have any scholarship spots available. In our 1st Grade reading, writing, grammar, and spelling class, we believe that learning should be an adventure.
