US Grade Kindergarten - 4
6 lessons//6 Weeks
 Week 1
Lesson 1
LESSON 1: Nouns
In this first lesson, we will learn an engaging story about the history of the noun, and why we use a black pyramid (triangle), like the pyramids of Egypt, to represent it. We will look at identifying many different objects (nouns) in Minecraft.
 Week 2
Lesson 2
LESSON 2: Noun Family
We will meet the other members of the Noun Family in this lesson - Articles and Adjectives, and we will have another story about why the articles and adjectives come together with the noun to create a family of words (a phrase).
 Week 3
Lesson 3
LESSON 3: Verbs
In this lesson, we will learn all about the words that give energy and movement to the Noun Family, just like the Sun is the source of our energy. We will learn that adding verbs to a phrase transforms it into a sentence, and can be a sentence all on their own. We will briefly touch on verb tenses.
 Week 4
Lesson 4
LESSON 4: Adverbs
In Lesson 4, we learn that the words that describe verbs are called adverbs. At the end of this class, as in every class, students can practice identifying each part of speech in a sentence, and they will also learn different patterns of symbols (and parts of speech) to see how powerful and fun using these words can be.
 Week 5
Lesson 5
LESSON 5: Prepositions & Pronouns
In Lesson 5 we will learn how to use words to describe where something is in space, place and time. We learn that where we put the preposition is important, and that it bridges the noun to other words in the sentence, which is why we use a green crescent shape to indicate prepositions. We also cover pronouns, and how they are cousins of the Noun family, so they are the same shape but a little different.
 Week 6
Lesson 6
LESSON 6: Conjunctions & Interjections
In our final lesson, we will discover that conjunctions link phrases and clauses together and that a link that is pink is the symbol we use to identify them. We will also learn that to express big emotions, we can use a word called an interjection (I find this is a favourite for children!), and the Montessori grammar symbol for that.
Students will learn about all 9 parts of speech. They will be able to identify them in a sentence and use them to create better sentences of their own.
