Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 6
In this ongoing class, we will review and reinforce grammar and word study concepts and skills for learners at the 4th and 5th grade level. Each week, there will be a mini-lesson to introduce a focus skill, followed by an activity or game for practice. We will be following a combined 4th and 5th grade scope and sequence of English language concepts and standards. These classes will not be dependent on each other. This means that learners may join in at any time! We hope you will join our group soon.
