Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
In this ongoing  class, students will study 5 words per week.  They will learn the pronunciation, the history of the words, how the different parts of the words fit together.  There will be examples and games to play. Students will learn how to use the words in original sentences and stories they create. Each lesson will start with an explanation, then there will be discussions where students can make connections to the words.
