In this ongoing class, second and third-graders will learn a well-rounded grammar curriculum, including compound words, possessives, conjunctions, gerunds, pronouns, verbs, nouns, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, dialogue, abbreviations, and more! This class includes: ✏️ a homework sheet to reinforce the lesson's topic ✏️ a fun learning environment to encourage engagement ✏️ several opportunities for students to practice what they are learning Each class will begin with a short warm-up to get students engaged with the teacher and the lesson material. Each lesson will be focused on one aspect of grammar and reading so students can master the topic by the end of class. The grammar curriculum will be taught through group reading activities, search and find activities, writing exercises, songs, games, and LOTS of laughter and fun!
