Writings will be shared if the camper wishes to read their creation. I teach in a relaxed manner.  Prior Knowledge.  The learner should be able to write a paragraph and have spelling ability appropriate to their age range.  Please bring paper and pencil to class.  Each day, after class a summary of the Camp Topic and lesson will be posted in the classroom.  This camp is of the most benefit if your learner is interactive.  If they do not complete the writing of the day, they are welcome to post their finished work in the classroom where I will give suggestions and feedback.  Class rules:  We mute so we do not talk over each other, we are kind and respectful to everyone, we raise our hand if we have a question or comment.  And, as per the Outschool rules, the camera must be turned on during class so I may verify the learner.
