Class Experience

US Grade 6 - 8
We will focus on the Greek root word Ology.  Students will be provided instruction on and examples of the root word, create a word family using related words, have an opportunity to practice using the root's meaning in multiple ways (handouts, verbal discussion, chat discussion, annotation, drawing, etc.), and learn how to apply this knowledge to deciphering unknown words.  #academic

As the teacher, I will provide direct instruction with immediate feedback and encouragement as we practice.  I strive to engage each child at their level and keep them active and involved throughout the session.

NOTE: There is also a 1x weekly course offered where we will work on the a new Greek/Latin root word each week!
Learning Goals
