Class Experience

In this 6 week course, students will move from writing letters to sentences and beyond! We will meet 2 days per week and have fun while learning how to sound out words, use proper sentence structure, and play with silly sight words to get out our wiggles! This class is for beginner writers who have previous knowledge of almost all letter formation and letter sounds. Each class will consist of a community building question of the day, short mini lesson, hands on activity, movement brain break, and finally independent writing time. We will progress from writing words to sentences, learn to label our drawings, and take pride in sharing our work!

We will have fun  and learn so much adding to our interactive spiral notebook each week. Students will be active learners and have this place to organize notes and practice short activities throughout the 6 week course. Students will also use a writing folder to keep track of unfinished and completed work. By the end of the 6 weeks students will have a collection of all sight words and activities completed. This will be a valuable tool for learner's to use in the future! 

Wiggly writers will learn to be confident in their writing and have fun while doing it! This semester course is highly engaging, educational, and fun. I look forward to seeing your little learner in my classroom!

Parental Guidance
Parents can assist with gathering materials before class if needed. Also, since this class is intended for young learners, it is recommended that the parent sits nearby and/or teach your child to push the UNMUTE/MUTE button. This will cut down on any unwanted background noise and allow the class to run as smooth as possible!
Supply List
-A printable handout(s) for students will be provided each week 24 hrs. prior to class. 
-Students will need something to write with (pencil, map pencils, AND/OR crayons).
