February ꜱᴀʟᴇ ᴘʀɪᴄᴇ - ɴᴏ ᴄᴏᴜᴘᴏɴ ɴᴇᴇᴅᴇᴅ! Turn an ordinary file folder into a personalized grammar reference for your students! Students master and practice several essential grammar topics each week, including nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and contractions. Lapbooks are a fun and engaging way for students to keep track of their learning. Lapbooks are developmentally appropriate for many ages and learning styles and are a great way to showcase knowledge. This class is appropriate for CEFR: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. In this flexible schedule class, Outschoolers will complete two Monster-Themed Grammar Lapbook projects per week for eight lapbook learning components. Learning takes place through the use of pre-recorded class videos (NO LIVE MEETINGS) via an interactive google slides classroom, by creating a monster-themed interactive grammar lapbook, as well as, fun, group participation games.
