Students will learn vocabulary words vital to increased growth in their word base.  My goal is for the learners to internalize these words.  Students will be made more aware of the words in their world and be able to add them to their normal spoken and written vocabulary.  

As a retired teacher of 33 years, I have taught this same Wordly Wise curriculum for grades four and five in a public classroom for many years.  I feel excited and comfortable to be sharing this knowledge with students.  I truly feel if the student is interested, and will complete the work, this class will make a huge difference in the life of the student!  It just may be a game changer!  Let's get excited about learning and have fun together!  

Homework Offered
As in any other class a learner might take, the more parent involvement, the greater the success.  Parents will need to make sure their learner understands all the ten words each week.
Before Day Two of the weekly class, parents should listen to the learner read the story (exercise D) and guide learner to complete the review crossword puzzle at the end of each lesson.
0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
  The best evidence of the success of this class will be when the learners begin to use on their own, the words we are studying!
Students will not be graded with a letter grade. 
Students will grade their own work during class.
