US Grade 3 - 5
Learn to QUICKLY write great paragraphs!! In this weekly course I will cover an easy to use formulaic approach that helps students write a clear paragraph that includes a topic sentence, supporting details and a closing. 

Students can see and use a fun color coding system to help each child quickly and easily learn the 3 sections of a well constructed paragraph. 

A blank graphic organizer can be provided, but typically students will be encouraged to write on lined paper to help foster the writing process in a traditional way. We will of course have fun along the way to keep kids engaged and excited to learn to write! 

Each class will be differentiated and tailored to the students in the class and their individual needs and topics will be student led and selected each session at the beginning of class time. This class is especially excellent for 3rd graders who want to move ahead or practice writing solid paragraphs, 4th grade students who have mastered the basics but would still benefit from the practice in paragraph development and 5th grade students where writing may still be a challenge and they need an easy system to master paragraph writing so that they can move on to multi-paragrah compositions.

WEEKLY TOPICS:
- Weekly writing topics will be student selected from high-interest options.
- Even through the class is ongoing, students mat begin or end at any point as mastery is achieved

Teacher expertise and credentials
California Teaching Certificate
Hello Parents & Students,

I am Ms. S.  and I am so excited to be here on Outschool and would love to tell you a little bit about myself and the classes I teach. I am a credentialed teacher with 17+ years of formal experience in teaching in a traditional person setting prior to coming to Outschool.  I hold BA, teaching credential and a Master's degree in Education as well. I have taught in grades 2nd-12th grades and I hold an advanced literacy certificate, a certificate in working with gifted students, I also have deep experience working with English Language Learners (teaching ESL) as well as with students with special needs. 

I have also taught creative classes such as drawing and photography for many years and love working with students in the arts as well. 

My passion as a teacher is making difficult concepts seem easy by making them fun and engaging for all of my students. I truly believe that when learning is fun it keeps students motivated and helps them remember and retain things that may normally feel challenging.  I also believe in multi-modality teaching and you will find that in my classes we learn so many things through games, chants, songs, and using visuals to help my students have fun and succeed! 

In addition to instructional time in class, students can always contact me to set up a live video session, chat in the Outschool classroom or conversate through email as well. 

Since all students are unique and each parent has different hopes and objectives for their student, I am also happy to meet with parents for parent/teacher conference sessions. During these meetings, we can discuss your educational goals, areas for focus, and accommodations for your student that will help them learn. 

On a more personal note, I am a mom of 2 sweet children and always kept busy spending time with them and participating this their spots and extracussicunar activities. I look forward to getting to know your student more in class and helping them reach new goals and have FUN doing it!

Ms. S.
