In this one time class, students will be given the opportunity to improve their writing skills by creating sentences with your full of interesting and detailed text. We will learn how to change simple, dull sentences into ones that are fun to read! We will also review our unique Montessori grammar symbols and use those to highlight the parts of speech within the sentences. After making introductions and reviewing the class rules, we will review the 5W‘s of great sentence writing. (Who, what, where, when, why) After reviewing a teacher let example sentence through an interactive slideshow, students will generate their own ideas for a sentence starter. (For instance, “The cat sat.“) Additionally, students can use examples provided if they prefer. Upon completion and labeling of their sentences, students will share with one another their new sentences which are full of details! This student centered class will encourage learners to develop and improve their writing skills. Learners should have some background experience with writing sentences for this class.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their understanding of Montessori grammar symbols and what makes sentences full of interesting details in the writing precess.

Hello! I am so excited to teach your kiddos on Outschool! I have a degree in Elementary Education and have been teaching over 25 years. I also have a specialty Montessori certificate in grades 1-3, and a TESOL certification credential. For nine years I specialized as a learning Title I learning support teacher with a focus in reading and writing in the language arts curriculum with 5-9 year olds. I have taught 1st and 2nd grade in a Montessori classroom. I love helping children learn to read by teaching the fundamental skills of early reading, grammar, reading comprehension and writing. I also teach many cultures themed lessons for learners where we can enjoy exploring topics of our planet and space together!
I love to help children learn and be successful in the classroom through fun and engaging activities. I like to make classes challenging and rewarding for students, and I have a very student centered approach, which is aligned with the Montessori teaching philosophy. I think of myself as a guide, who always strives to meet children at their instructional level.
Outside of teaching, I am a mother of adult boy/girl twins. My husband and I have a senior rescue terrier named Sandy and we love to go for long walks. I also enjoy living a very healthy lifestyle which includes walking, hiking, yoga, running and enjoying nature whenever possible!
Thank you for taking the time to find out more about me. I hope to see your child in the classroom soon!Reviews
