Práctica diaria de gramática y escritura: 5.º y 6.º grado

Grammar, Capitalization, Punctuation, and Journal Writing are the things that middle school students LOVE, right?  
With daily practice and continuous reinforcement students will improve their writing skills and find confidence in English Language Arts. 

Only 30 minutes, 4 times per week will leave students confident that they will not accidentally invite others to eat grandpa. This is an interactive class, student participation is integral to student success.  
******Students are expected to have their cameras on, and to participate verbally.******

>>>>>>>>Classes with fewer than 4 students enrolled MAY be cancelled.<<<<<<<<<

Each day will include journal writing while students log in (designed to take 7-10 minutes).  Next is a grammar correction activity that takes about another 10 minutes.  The remaining 10 minutes of class will consist of grammar mini lessons, games and activities centered around the theme of the week.  Each assignment throughout the week will build upon one another.   Structure of the class may change based upon the needs of the learners. 

Each week is unique and does not require prior knowledge from previous classes.   However, students are expected to have basic knowledge of parts of speech (nouns, verbs, pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, and conjunctions), as well as basic punctuation, capitalization and spelling conventions.

**********PLEASE READ*************
Outschool has recently changed its policy regarding class cancellations. We know how disappointing canceled classes can be for learners, so we too are amending our policy.  In the past we have waited for late enrollees, of which we have had MANY!  Unfortunately we can no longer do that. 

Instead we will evaluate class enrollment for ongoing classes on teach Sunday at 5pm Eastern.  IF enrollment falls below 3 students, we will push the class back a week and offer students a refund for the missed class.  When other sections are available students will have the option to transfer to another class. Full refunds will be provided for learners who cannot attend the newly scheduled class time. All other refunds will be provided as per the Outschool Limited Refund policy (see below).  There are NO partial refunds for classes missed by students or student schedule changes. If for any reason the class does not meet your expectation, you have the confidence of knowing that Outschool has a Happiness Guarantee and will provide a refund upon request via their Customer Support. 

Transfer requests within 24 hours of a scheduled class will NOT be approved.  At that point it is too late to reschedule the class, and it is unfair to other families who may have enrolled thinking there were multiple learners enrolled. Instead students will be encouraged to watch the video of the class.
 
Thank you for understanding, and for your loyalty.
