Looking for a class to take during summer vacation. This summer camp is great to continue learning while having fun doing it. In this class, students will learn skills to help them improve their writing ability. Storytellers are always looking for ideas and inspiration to keep their creative juices flowing. I designed this class to do just that. Inspire and coax new ideas. Each week will be centered on specific genre. Students will learn about the genre and try using tips and tricks that work well when creating a story in that particular genre. The four core creative genres we will learn about are: Fiction, Creative Non-fiction, Poetry, and Drama. Class time will included a game or activity, a brief slide show about the weekly genre, a writing prompt or exercise, and time to share or discuss their work. I strive to create a positive learning environment for all students. I encourage students to share their work on their own comfort level. All students are encouraged to share their thoughts and creative writing masterpieces. However, this is not required in class. Students can participate in this class and gain knowledge from it without sharing their personal work. As a writer myself, I always strive to find ways to inspire or evoke new ideas in my writing. I would love to share that with my students through this creative writing camp. My goal is to give your learners the tools they need to be successful writers, while also creating a fun learning environment for them to enjoy.

With four years of experience working in a virtual classroom, I am confident that your learner will feel comfortable and excited to come to class. I also have a bachelor's degree in behavioral science, with a concentration in Psychology. I have completed many English and Writing courses throughout my college adventure as well. I am excited to share my love of reading and writing with your students.
I will be offering mostly reading and writing based classed geared toward all levels. My classes are designed to enhance reading skills. Learners will increase reading fluency and improve comprehension. As for writing courses, learners can gain valuable skills to develop their writing ability in many different genres. While I mostly focus on reading and writing skills, I also offer classes involving animals, Disney movies, dress up, and much more.
I believe that children retain most information if they can connect to the material they are learning about. I strive to create a upbeat, fun classroom where all students feel excepted and free to express themselves. Learning can be fun when taught in creative and exciting ways. All of my offered classes are designed to keep your learners engaged with activities. Learners also participate in discussions and gain instruction in a positive learning environment.
