Students will receive a message from me in Outschool after the class is over. This message will include an assessment of how they did in the class and will offer suggestions for improvement, if needed.Class Experience
US Grade 3 - 6
Students will learn about the 4 types of sentences: Declarative, Imperative, Interrogative, and Exclamatory. They will learn about the correct punctuation for each type and they will practice writing them. I show students the difference between writing a paragraph that is all declarative sentences and one that has a variety of types of sentences. This will help them to add variety to their writing and make it more interesting. In all my writing classes, I strive to help students gain more confidence in their ability to write. Students should be reading and writing English at a 4th grade level or higher to succeed in this class. NOTE: I almost always schedule the 25-minute class "Writing Good Paragraphs" right after this one. So, students can complete both classes within an hour.

I love working with kids! I have 14 years of teaching experience, and I have taught in both traditional school settings and as a homeschool parent. I am passionate about helping kids at all levels of their reading and writing journey. It's so exciting when I see a student gain confidence as a reader/writer or when I can help a young aspiring writer achieve their dreams.
My writing experience includes writing copy for marketing materials, ghost writing for corporate executives, technical writing, writing newspaper articles, and writing instructions for digital technology applications. Managing a corporate internal newsletter was one of my favorite projects. I created the newsletter design, interviewed and wrote articles about team members, and managed the editing and submission process for all the contributors. As a hobby, I love to write short stories, poetry, and songs. I can't imagine my life without writing.
My education includes a BA in Communications and a Master of Science in Technical and Professional Communication (MSTPC). Because I have completed 2 years of my BA and all of my MS classes online, I am skilled with the various aspects of online learning. I love using what I have learned to help kids become better at reading and writing.Reviews
