Does learning about part of speech have to mean sitting a looking a flash cards for hours? I don't think so either.  In this class learner will learn what nouns, verbs, and adjectives are and how to identify them in a short sentence.  Your child will be introduced to numerous words and will have to decide if it is either a noun, verb, or adjective. We will be doing this in fun and active ways! Learners will be having so much fun that they will forget that they are learning. 


Lesson 1: What is a noun? Students will learn what kinds of words are nouns. We will sort picture of words into categories of people, places, things and animals. Students will learn the difference between a common noun and a proper noun. Learners will play a game called "Find Teachers Mistake" where they have to find words that don't belong in each category. This will all take place in the class room video. When they are done watching and learning from the interactive classroom video they will have a chance to find nouns themselves. Each learner will be given a worksheet full of letter to use to find as many nouns hidden as they can. Students can post their result to compete to see who finds the most nouns.
