In this course, students will be introduced to the eight parts of speech. Each week we will cover a different part of speech and learn how to use it and how to identify it. Students will learn what each part of speech is, how it functions in the sentence, how to use it, and how to identify it in sentences. We will also be memorizing lists of verbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and pronouns using chants and music. This will allow students to quickly identify things such as helping verbs, state of being verbs, prepositions, etc. Students will walk away from this class able to confidently dissect a sentence into the various parts of speech. We will also learn how to use the parts of speech to form a variety of sentences. The class schedule will be as follows: Week 1: Nouns: Person, Place, Thing, or Idea Week 2: Verbs: Action, Linking, State of Being Week 3: Adjectives: Describe Nouns or Pronouns (What Kind, Which One, How many, How much, Whose) Week 4: Adverbs: Describe Verbs, Adjectives, Adverbs (Where, When, How, How Often, To What Extent) Week 5: Conjunctions: Link (And, But, Or, Nor, For, Yet, So) Week 6: Prepositions: Show Position Week 7: Pronouns: Take a Nouns Place Week 8: Interjections: Show Excitement. We will also review the other parts of speech. Students will practice these skills using a variety of worksheets, activities, and readings. There will be songs, games, reviews, and more! This class will bring the parts of speech to life using students favorite characters as examples! So come join me as we learn the parts of speech!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Liberty University
Hello! My name is Kristen Freeman! I love to teach, and I have been a teacher for the last 5 years. I love Language Arts, History, Phonics, Reading, and Writing! I believe that learning should be fun and exciting because learning is the most amazing thing. I am a wife, a stay at home mom, and a part time teacher!
I have a strong passion for education. I have a Bachelor's degree in education with a minor in child psychology! I have been a teacher for the last 6 years and have taught ESL online for the past 2 years. I have taught children of all ages during my teaching career, and I think that learning should be exciting no matter how old you are!
While I enjoy all types of classes, I am super passionate about reading, writing, and grammar! Children often struggle with these core areas and since they are the basis of education, they soon come to dislike reading and then learning. I believe that all children can learn and that sometimes it takes a different approach to unlock learning a new concept! That is why my classes focus on exciting approaches to basic content! Reviews
