Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 2
This is an engaging 5-day camp that will help learners take basic sentences and build them into creative, descriptive complex sentences.

Each day the class meets will be structured as follows:

The teacher will begin by showing the class a flashcard or interesting object and ask for a simple sentence. The class will write the sentence (the teacher may use the whiteboard for reinforcement).

Next, the teacher will begin to question the class about the card or object about aspects such as color, size, and numbers. The class will add onto the existing sentence and write it again.

Finally, the teacher will ask more questions about things like actions, emotions, and positions to increase the sentence for a third time.  The class will offer suggestions and write the final sentence.

The process will be repeated as time allows.  Some groups will work faster or slower than others, but learners can expect to write a minimum of three sentences per class. 

The teacher will use grammatical vocabulary to help students gain exposure to basic parts of speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc.), punctuation, and sentence structure. Learners will be encouraged to use proper capitalization as well.  The teacher will use handheld flashcards and objects held up in the video feed in most cases. Occasionally, a teacher may screen share an image but there will never be outside websites, links, or accounts needed by the learners.

Topics will be determined randomly by flashcards, objects, and pictures the learners or the teacher bring to class. Each session will begin over with new flashcards, objects, and/or pictures and be independent of the sessions before or after.
