Sentences are the foundation to writing! Students will interact in class as they learn how to write sentences like a pro and become confident and ready for paragraph writing in subsequent grades.

Writing sentences is the first of many steps to setting your child up for success in school. Children who can write and express thoughts well in basic sentences will be better able to develop cohesive paragraphs and multi-paragraph writing pieces down the line. 

In this class your student will have fun and focus on 4 main components of sentence writing:
- Writing sentences with a subject & predicate.
- Expanding their sentences to include more details.
- Using correct punctuation and grammar in their sentences.
- Learn to check their own sentences.

Materials:
