Vocabulary Lists will be posted in the classroom on Sunday mornings for the upcoming week. Students are welcome to print them off and look them over before class time. This is completely optional and not necessary for the class.Class Experience
US Grade 7 - 8
This ongoing class is a super fun and laidback way for 7th-8th grade students to sharpen their vocabulary and spelling skills. They won't even realize they are learning as they play and interact with other learners! Each week students will be given a list of grade-aligned vocabulary words to look over. I will be posting the vocabulary lists in the classroom on Sunday mornings so that the students can get a head start on getting comfortable with the words before class time.

Parental Guidance
We will be using a third-party tool called Lumio Smart Suite for our lessons. I will be sharing a link to the lesson so that the students and I can go through the material together. All activities on Lumio may only be accessed during our live class as the link becomes inactive when I end the lesson. Students will not need an account of any kind to view our content on Lumio. They will be asked to enter their first name so that I can track all work and provide feedback to students during the lesson. No other information is requested or required.
Supply List
All materials for this class will be provided to the students.

I have been very fortunate to work with many students over the past 10 years on their reading fluency and comprehension, including my own children. As a public school teacher, I LOVED making vocabulary and spelling practice fun for students by using games and contests. I have seen firsthand what a difference it makes for students to enjoy learning!
