**It is recommended that your learner has had previous experience with the symbols used in the "Function of Words" lessons in a Montessori environment. If not already familiar with these symbols, I encourage learners to take the "Montessori Grammar Parts of Speech Series" 4 week course with me before registering for the "Silly Sentences" ongoing class.
Students should have access to the physical grammar symbols and the ability to print and cut out a pdf file of words to start their silly sentence word collection. 

This active, Montessori style class is designed to review and reinforce the functions of words.  We will review all of the parts of speech by making sentences together. I will provide a sentence pattern through the grammar symbols. Leaners will either read and choose cards to go with each part of speech or pick from their parts of speech cards at random to create a silly sentence. Through encouragement of active participation and a welcoming class environment, I will guide students to understand how the different parts of speech work in sentences. We will practice  reading and writing our labeled sentences. 

This is a great class for basic literacy practice in a meaningful context. Grammar doesn't have to be a tough concept to battle through in later years. With a hands-on Montessori approach, the concepts can be understood in a simple, concrete way and students can have fun while learning!
