In this class, learners will practice expanding their sentences from simple to descriptive! First, the learners will examine an image from Among Us. We will brainstorm and examine the details found in the image. Next, we will create descriptive sentences together using adjectives, who, what, where, when and how. Near the end of the class, learners will each be given an opportunity to create their own super sentences about Among Us! We will then share these new sentences with the class. I am a relaxed and positive teacher. I like to ask lots of questions and encourage participation from my learners. I believe that finding topics that are important or exciting to the learner makes writing so much more fun! My goal is to bring a love of writing to all of my students. This is an inclusive class and all learners are welcome. Each student and all ideas will be treated with kindness and respect. This relaxed sentence writing class will introduce your learner to descriptive writing. I can't wait to meet your learner in the classroom!

Learners will learn how to write descriptive sentences!

🟢Ms. Melissa, JD (founder)
Hello! Welcome to Wild Prairie Learning!
I am a lawyer turned online teacher with a deep passion for education. Prior to attending law school at the University of Saskatchewan, I studied education and linguistics in university at the University of Alberta. More recently, I completed my TEFOL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certification.
I have been teaching English successfully online for the past 6 years and have taught thousands of private and group online classes. I love helping students learn new skills and accomplish their goals.
When I am not teaching, I am likely to be spending time with my family! I have four children ages 8-18, a husband, two cats, and a miniature poodle named Penny. We spend our summers camping, and we love to play board games together!

I have my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Early Childhood Education. My Master’s degree is in Classroom Technology. I have TESOL, TEFL, and ESL Specialist certificates. I taught English as a Second Language for four years in a school district. For the last eight (plus) years, I have been teaching online to over 5,000 students and over 15,000 classes! I have spent my entire teaching career specializing in teaching English, and love what I do!
I have worked with children ages 3-18 and excel in forming a positive classroom environment. I find my kind and upbeat personality allows me to connect and engage with students in my classroom. I believe when learners feel more comfortable and welcomed in their environment, they will become more active in their learning! I love building relationships with students as they begin to express themselves in class and take their learning to the next level!
When I am not teaching online, I am homeschooling my son! I enjoy spending time with my family, and taking care of my little "zoo" including multiple dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, and fish! I love swimming, and cheering on my son at his various activities!
Thank you for taking the time to learn about me, and I'm excited to begin learning together!
