1 hour per week. The lesson takes less than half of the class. Students will write and share for the remainder of the class so that I can help them get a good start. Students will be asked to finish their writing after class. They can send me the finished work for feedback.Class Experience
US Grade 1 - 4
#academic The more we write, the better we write and possibly the more we enjoy writing. In this class we will first learn about different types of writing and important writing skills using a powerpoint presentation. Then the students will be given a prompt so that they can practice their writing. I will guide them through the process of writing good paragraphs using a hook to pull the reader into the story. We will also focus on revising and editing as important parts of the writing process. All students will be at different levels of the writing experience. I believe that we should take the child's abilities right where they are and make steps of improvement in a caring and accepting way. More than anything I want to foster the child's confidence and joy in writing. Student will brainstorm together as we develop topic sentences and supporting sentences on the screen. Students should be able to write in sentences. I have 10 lessons taught over 5 weeks for this camp.

I love to teach many different types of reading and English classes. I enjoy teaching pre reading skills as well as word work and grammar. This includes English as a second language to students who want to improve their English skills. I have taught 32 years in the public schools. There I taught most grade levels, but really fell in love with writing. I also taught English as a second language to children in my school district at all levels. I then taught English with Chinese students online. I spent some time working in administration to help other teachers find the skills they needed to be successful in the classroom. I believe that all students can grow and learn when they are inspired and when their stress level is low. Making the classroom fun, encouraging students and acknowledging their success will help achieve their ability to learn. Aside from teaching, I love to travel, care for my pet dog and cheer for my son in his hockey games.Reviews
