This class will run 2 days per week every week, however, I have set it up as a multi-day class rather than an ongoing class so that each day during the week can build on the day before in a way that an ongoing class can not, and so that families can afford this course one week at a time rather than paying for an entire semester or year upfront.
Come for as many or as few weeks as are necessary and suitable for your learners to achieve their ELA goals.
I prefer to use whiteboards and flashcards, however, if the topic requires them I will use slides.
