This ongoing small-group class is designed to give 3rd-6th grade students a crash course in sentence structure and grammar. Each week we will focus on a specific grammar/writing concept and review its rules and uses. The goals of this class are: ∙ to give students a solid foundation to help them be more successful in their future writing classes ∙ to give students all the tools they need to become MASTER writers 🏫 Class Structure ↓ + Welcome Chat + Concept of the Day Introduction & Explanation + Group Practice (Let’s put our new skills to the test!) + Grammar Games ☼ PLEASE NOTE: This is an ongoing class. Students are welcome to join at any time.

These packets may include detailed, easy-to-read notes of the material, worksheets, charts, tips & tricks, flashcards, etc. These are COMPLETELY OPTIONAL! Students may do 1 page, all pages, or no pages at all. This is just for some extra reinforcement of our topics. Nothing will be required to be turned in, but I will gladly check/review/critique any work the student would like me to look at. → I HIGHLY recommend students keep a "Grammar Binder" with all of their printed materials and notes. This will be an excellent resource for their future ELA/Grammar courses! ❗ Important Notes for Parents ❗ ► If your kiddo is having an especially tough time on a class day, please send me a message to let me know they need a little extra love that day. No details necessary, just a quick note. I'll keep an eye on them during class and try my best to turn their day around. ► All learners in the listed age range are welcome in my classroom. Please let me know if any special accommodations are required for your child. ► This class offers a sibling discount!

Parental Guidance
We will be using a third-party tool entitled LUMIO for our lessons. I will be sharing a link to the lesson so that the students and I can go through the material together. This will be for slides of the material, group discussion questions, and games relating to the material. All activities on LUMIO may only accessed during our live class as the link becomes inactive when I end the lesson. Students will not need an account of any kind to view our content on LUMIO. They will be asked to enter their first name so that I can track all feedback from students during the lesson. No other information is requested or required.
