During this 8 week course we will focus on building the foundations of cursive writing using an American Cursive style. This is a teacher led and demonstrated interactive class. As the teacher demonstrates the letter, each student will have live class time to practice the letters progressing each and every week. This is a complete course with learning the basics of both lower case and upper case letters. We will have fun drill work exercises, practice sheets and writing prompts to work on applications. There will also be copy work from age appropriate literature and poetry for additional practice. We will be finishing off the course with fun do-it-yourself book projects. Week 1 Lowercase alphabet Week 2 Lowercase alphabet Week 3 Uppercase alphabet Week 4 Uppercase alphabet Week 5 Connecting letters into words, intro to copy work Week 6 Copy Work and technique Week 7 Introduction to Creating a Book Week 8 Finalizing Book Work For homework, students will need to spend between 1 and 2 hours per week practicing the cursive letters gone over in class, using the instructions/discussion from the week. The teacher will provide individual feedback and guidance as each student works through their weekly projects. Students provide encouragements and constructive feedback/analysis to their classmates throughout the course.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have homeschooled for the past 18+ years (It's been so long I'm losing count). My husband and I have 5 children: 3 self sufficient adults now), 1 College and 1 in High School!
My teaching background has been primarily based on teaching my own children K-12. It is where I found a passion for learning! I have one child with dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia. I had to learn how to teach to each child differently based on their learning styles and needs through workshops, books and classes.
Outside of educating in the home, my background is quite diverse. My writing has been published for feature articles in magazines, business writing, and resume writing. I have a strong professional background in sales and marketing and staff recruiting.
I consider myself a lifetime learner and always will. My hobbies include history, true crime (yes, I try to solve each and every one, haha) crocheting, quilting, cooking, art (pen & ink and charcoal), photography, homemaking. What do I love to teach? Things I am good at of course!
I try to bring hands on learning to most everything I do. To me, it's more enjoyable and leaves a lasting impression on your mind!
When not home schooling and teaching on Outschool, you will likely find me hiking with our boys, or quite possibly at a football game, baseball game, basketball game...you get the picture, basically on a field of some sort!Reviews
