💥FALL 2023: Since I am unable to offer as many live sections this fall, I have created a 10-week Flex Class that reviews the same material. Even though it is Flex, I am going to do my best to make it interactive for the students. SAVE $15 (First week FREE) with COUPON SNOWFLEXGRAMMAR15. https://outschool.com/classes/grammar-review-parts-of-speech-sentence-structure-and-writing-UscBodM4?usid=BCh7PAxV&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link In this weekly writing class, we will explore different modes of writing, such as personal narrative, persuasive writing, and perspective writing. There will be a mini lesson on how to compose each type of writing and important information to include. We will work through examples as a class and then have time for students to practice creating their own piece. Students can share their work with the class for editing an revising suggestions. Students are encouraged to have a separate notebook for class where they can jot down topic ideas and write their compositions down. They may also use programs on their own devices to type stories. Topics include: ✏️Narrative Writing ✏️Perspective Writing ✏️Persuasive Writing ✏️Descriptive Writing ✏️Cause and Effect ✏️Sequencing ✏️Problem and Solution ✏️Entertainment Writing ➡️Monday and Wednesday 3:20PM EST⬅️ Week of May 1: National Space Day Writing Week of May 8: Personification Writing * NO WEDNESDAY CLASS (refunds will be given) Week of May 15: Sequencing and Expanding Plot Lines Week of May 22: Lucky Penny Writing Week of May 29: Flip Flop Writing* NO MONDAY CLASS (refunds will be given) Week of June 5: World Ocean's Day Writing Week of June 12: Week of June 19: Previous topics: 5 Senses Writing Time Capsule Writing/ Detailed Writing Creating a Character Persuasive Writing: Working on Solid Explanations Poetry: Haiku and I am Poem Adding Dialogue into Our Writing Earth Day Writing

Hi friends! I cannot wait to learn with you! I earned a degree in Early Childhood and Special Education. Currently, I live in Michigan with my husband and our fur babies. You may even see a guest appearance from some of them!
I believe that learning should be fun and exciting! Learning something new should transport us into a new world where we can use our imaginations to grow ideas. Children need movement and exploration to develop skills- even through a screen! My classes focus on building from the ground up. If we do not have a solid foundation, then we cannot build up too high. My classes are learner focused and I adjust difficulty based on student and parent feedback.
My job as an educational facilitator is to model and provide students with the tools they need to be successful. I am very excited for us to work together to learn skills that we can carry with us on our educational journey.Reviews
