基本的な初級文法スキル: 品詞と文法

Welcome to Essential Elementary Grammar!

In this class, students will learn basic language skills: sentence structure, mechanics, and parts of speech. This class is designed around 2nd grade common core literacy standards but is suitable for grades 1-3 or any older students needing a refresher on parts of speech and sentence mechanics. 

Each week, we will cover the topic listed. Students can drop in any week, as skills will be topics that can stand alone. Students will listen to the teacher teach the skill. We will do several examples in class using Teacher Created slides/videos. Students will have practice opportunities in class.
