Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 6
Beginner - Intermediate Level
This class is designed to address grammar standards for 4th grade but will be a great skill builder for students struggling with grammar. The standards are based on Texas and national standards for learning. Each unit is expected to take one to two classes, but the timing may be shifted to accommodate learners. 
 

Classroom Experience:
Information will be presented in a lecture format most often. For each unit, there will be opportunities for practice and interaction during class. External websites (Kahoot!, NearPod) will be used during some class for an interactive learning experience. 
Students are expected to post to classroom discussions and respond with corrective and/or confirmatory feedback to at least one student’s post when prompted. 

Each week, a communication will be posted in the classroom for learners and their parents with information relevant for the upcoming unit.
