Created for home school students and students learning from home! Come connect with other fourth grade students, make friends, and learn in a fun and positive classroom! This class will meet three days each week and will cover third grade standards for Reading /LA. We will learn and practice Reading, writing and Grammar skills. While practicing reading skills, we will also learn several 4th grade social studies standards. We will make an online book about states that we research - this is a class favorite! We will spiral through the standards making it possible for your student to join and leave at any time. Each class will be a new mini lesson and activity. I will use my personal curriculum map to ensure we are learning appropriate fourth grade standards. Class will consist of hands on activities, games, group work, discussions, video clips,  lectures and slides. I always strive to create a classroom where students are learning from me and each other, sharing their work, working with other students, and learning to work together to be the best we can be! Class will be laid back and fun- I believe students thrive best in a positive, relaxed, safe atmosphere.  All learners will need to be ready for fourth grade ELA standards before enrolling.
Classes will be held on Monday, Thursday, and Friday of each week.
