1 hour per week. Ideally, students should spend 10-15 minutes copying their corrected passage into their own notebook, so that at the end of class they have a completed story. Each Nose Tree sentence is about this long: Two of them fell asleep under a tree while the third built a fire and stayed alert. There will be 4 sentences to correctly copy after each day of class. .Assessment
Parents will see the students’ corrections in the grammar book and help them rewrite into another notebook. You are welcome to show me your child's work but it is not necessary.Class Experience

Beginner Level
This class uses the IEW Grammar book, Nose Tree. It covers many grammar topics and can be found here: https://iew.com/fix-it-grammar-level-1-nose-tree-student-book This is the first of the IEW Grammar books. Summer 2024 is the LAST TIME I will be teaching this class. I will have Books 2, 3, 4 in fall 2024, and then Books 3, 4, and 5 in spring 2025. Students search for and correct grammar errors. I encourage and correct as we go along, and add a unique coloring system to help them see different parts of speech. I am very encouraging and many students tell me they enjoy the challenge of searching for errors and improving each day. Students should have a basic knowledge of how sentences are formed. Most kids know this just by listening to stories. The first lessons address articles, nouns, and ending punctuation. The IEW Grammar books are set up to practice grammar 5-10 minutes a day, for 4 days a week, for 30 weeks. We will cover "4 days," which equals 4 sentences, in EACH day of class. So in one week we will cover "2 weeks" of the 30 in this book. You will finish half the book in 8 weeks. If you miss a day, the recording will be available for you after your learner is verified.
Learning Goals
Students will repeatedly practice all kinds of grammar rules and writing in the context of a coherent story.
