✏️Writing is often very difficult for many people, which is why it is frequently not well-liked and even sometimes seriously dreaded and avoided at all costs.  If your child struggles with writing, this is the perfect class for them!  It is full of exciting topics, great conversations, and interactive activities.  By the end of class, learners forget why they didn’t enjoy writing! 

✏️This ongoing Writing Wonders Workshop assists learners in developing organized strategies to gather, sort, and assemble their opinions into a well-written paragraph. The weekly topics are lighthearted and engaging so all students can comfortably express their thoughts by drawing upon their own personal experiences and by using their imagination. 

✏️Every class, we will begin by introducing the topic for that week, then each learner will be offered the opportunity to state their opinion as well as a reason or two to go along with their choice. Following that discussion, everyone will be asked to draw a quick, simple sketch, doodle, or picture of at least one of their reasons.  This helps bring clarity and reality to what the learner will be writing about. The next step involves reviewing the mechanics of writing and then the students are ready to utilize their printed organizer to begin creating their masterpiece of a paragraph. As we proceed, step by step, through this important element of the class, learners will be provided with encouragement, guidance, support, and motivation. Finally, each learner will have the opportunity to share their final product with the group. Positive, constructive feedback will be offered. This enjoyable and engaging experience will help bolster your learner’s confidence in their writing and communication skills.

✏️This class includes: 
     🌟paragraph organizer (please be sure to have this PDF 
               printed for class)
     🌟a different captivating topic each week
     🌟fun, supportive group discussions to aid in

     🌟positive, constructive feedback for anyone who submits 
               their final paragraph after class
     🌟valuable writing resources to print and keep if you like
