Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 6
Learning should be fun! That's the best way to learn tricky concepts in a way that will truly stick and turn into buildable skills. 

This class can be personalized and tailored to fit each student's needs. Please see the syllabus for a standard recommended class schedule. However, this can be changed and modified as needed - Lessons can be extended or skipped. If there are other topics your student needs to add to the lesson plan, I can accommodate that as well! 

For reading comprehension, we will read a passage from a new book each time and do a mini-author study lesson so students can learn who wrote the book as well! My hope is that I can get students interested in reading different genres!

Every 4th week students will have a stress-free, end-of-chapter quiz, and parents will receive a check-in report with suggested skills to work on at home with the quiz results, grade included! 

Each student will receive log-in information and a password for their own personal homework portal complete with language arts-themed video game reviews and virtual worksheets for practice in between classes. 

*Parents, please do not let your students attend class on a mobile device. The connection is never strong enough to support Zoom and the features are limited on mobile devices versus an iPad, laptop, or desktop. Thank you!! 

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out! If your student thrives in a more social setting, please ask about my group class listing!
