Each week in this class, students will write a proper paragraph about various topics. Some weeks will be silly topics (would a giraffe make a good pet) and more serious topics (use your five senses to describe your favorite food). When students are given the opportunity to write about fun topics that interest them they grow in their love of writing! I believe in creating a classroom community where all students feel valued and safe to make mistakes and celebrate each other's successes. My teaching style is "I do, we do, you do" through this method, I will guide student learning to meet each student where they are at and differentiate their learning. These are some topics we will be covering in the first few weeks of this class. Week of February 9th: Would a giraffe make a good pet? Week of February 16th: Use your 5 senses to describe your favorite food. Week of February 23rd: What was the best gift you have ever received? Week of March 2nd: Would you rather have one eye in the middle of your head or have two noses?
Learning Goals
Students will improve their understanding of the parts of a paragraph.
Students will be able to write paragraphs that effectively communicate their thoughts and opinions.
Students will improve their word choice to properly convey their ideas.
Students will consistently implement proper grammar (indentation, capital letters and punctuation).
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Students will be required to follow verbal instructions and write independently for portions of each class. I expect all of my students to always be respectful of their fellow classmates and their teacher. We will have fun and joke in this class but students are expected to get down to work when it is time to do so.
Supply List
Students will either need paper and pencil or the ability to type their work for the week.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello,
My name is Amy Sneath and I am the creator of Moxie Learning. Our company of teachers aim to provide a world class education without the limits of physical location. We form true classroom communities that rival those of traditional school. Friendships and true connection alongside academic excellence are regular occurrences at Moxie Learning.
When I was in school, I fell victim to math phobia and believed I was "bad" at math. Now I pride myself on meeting students where they are at and building their confidence to see they can learn any concept. I have experience in traditional 3rd and 4th grade classrooms teaching math and have seen first hand the difference in student achievement when they build confidence in themselves. This creates a life long love of learning which is even more valuable than the specific skills they will learn in my classroom.
Our team of teachers have several years of online educational experience in various grade levels and subjects. Both of our teachers graduated college with honors and are life long learners themselves. We are excited to share our love of learning with your children!
