In this 5-week course, students will develop and strengthen their beginner informative writing skills. This is a great course for 1st and 2nd grade students to start off the school year, as well as Kindergartners who need more of a challenge. We will write facts about different topics each class. Some prompts will be in a how-to or step by step format. Other prompts will be stating facts. We will learn and talk about nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs to help write our informative pieces! Each class, we will build on our skills to make proper and correct sentences. We will indirectly practice sight words, including spelling sight words. Students will also be practicing sounding out and spelling words as they write. All students will have the opportunity to share their sentences with the class. Class 1: Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich Class 2: Pet Care Class 3: Wash Your Hands! Class 4: School Rules Class 5: Healthy Teeth **Lined paper, a pencil and eraser will be needed each class**

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Sarah Born. I have been teaching live, online classes to children, ages 3 to 16, for over two and a half years. I love the connections made between students and teachers that would otherwise be impossible without the technological advancement of education. I primarily teach elementary aged children in all subject areas with a focus on ELA. As a former litigation attorney, I have a love for writing and, yes, even grammar.
I started my undergraduate education as an early childhood education minor but switched my major to history halfway through my junior year. I went on to attend law school at Syracuse University College of Law and graduated with a Juris Doctorate in 2008. I was an employment law litigation attorney until deciding to stay home with my young children in 2015. When they both reached elementary school age, I started subbing at their school. Since October 2017 I have been teaching online to allow myself the freedom to be available for my children, including volunteering as the Vice President of the PTA.
Online teaching requires a certain level of energy, especially when teaching less than exciting topics like grammar! I keep my classroom upbeat and interactive to maintain not only student engagement but to facilitate learning and retention. We have fun in my online classroom! There is nothing better than a child who is excited for class and ready to learn.
I live in North Carolina with my husband, son and daughter, along with a small zoo of pets. We have 2 standard poodles, a cat, a leopard gecko and 2 poison dart frogs! My family moved to North Carolina 2 years ago from Rochester, New York. Although I have taken a break from professional photography, capturing babies, children and families is one of my favorite ways to spend free time!Reviews
