US Grade 1 - 3
We will be practicing our brainstorming, drawing, writing, speaking and listening skills in a fun way using various writing prompts. Approximately 24 hours before the scheduled class time, learners will be given a writing sheet to DOWNLOAD and PRINT to use in class. The sheet will contain a picture which will be our starting point for the lesson. Learners will draw a scene relating to the picture and write either a few sentences about the picture or a short story, based on learner ability. We will share our drawings and writing at the end of class. This class is ideally for learners who have completed kindergarten through second grade. *Please note that the themes & prompts used rotate every school year. For example, weekly themes used in the fall of 2020 will be used again in fall 2021 roughly in the same order. If your learner has enrolled in this class the prior school year, they may have already done the weekly theme.
Learning Goals
Students will practice sharing and organizing their ideas, writing skills and listening and speaking skills.

Hi there. My name is Frances and I love teaching on Outschool. I offer classes in phonemic awareness, phonics, reading comprehension, creative writing and math.
I have a Bachelor's in Journalism from California State University Northridge. I am an elementary school substitute teacher and classroom instructional assistant where I do reading and math intervention one on one and with small groups and lead Listening and Speaking activities. For several years, I also taught English online to children in China.
The online classroom is a fun way to interact with others and expand our minds. In my classroom, we will work together to learn new things and practice skills when "we aren't just there yet" until we are masters! What a wonderful time we live in that we can connect and learn together from anywhere in the world.
