Class Experience

US Grade Kindergarten - 2
This class will focus on encouraging writing and imagination. We will make use of sight words and these will be provided for each grade level (Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade). If other grade level sight words are needed please ask. This class is better with more students, so the more the better! Siblings, friends, other Outschool family etc. The more students the better experience of the class. 

We will start our live session with our writing journals, these will be provided to print out if you'd like or a journal can be used. The print outs will provide spaces for illustrations. 
We will discuss as a class how we feel about writing, where we'd like to focus more on (spelling or just writing and getting our creative juices flowing). 
We will then decide as a class a theme or subject to write about together. We will do an example story together where each student adds a sentence to a story that we create. Students typically come up with some very creative stories this way. 
Then students will be provided time in class to come up with their own story that fits the theme that was decided on during the live session. 

Students will be able to share their stories if they feel comfortable. Students will be encouraged to write at least 1 story on their own before the next live session and create illustrations for the stories that they have created both in class and on their own.

Learning Goals

Students will improve their ability to use grade-level sight words as well as cultivate their love for story creation!

Other Details

Parental Guidance
Parents may want to work with students on sight words or spelling if needed. A class can be created that focuses just on sight and spelling words for grades K-2 if students feel that would help them with their writing. If your student is younger 5-6 you may want to provide art supplies if students need a break from writing for the whole time, they can illustrate their story, or a previous story, but will be encouraged to continue writing. I am pondering doing a specific writing course for kindergartners if interest is there.
Supply List
A sight words handout will be provided for grades K-2. 
A writing journal will be provided that can be printed out. 
Students will want to bring with them a pencil, eraser, and a form of a journal whether it's the one printed or their own personal journal.
 3 files available upon enrollment
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
