This ongoing small-group class is designed to give 3rd-6th grade students a crash course in sentence structure and grammar. Each week we will focus on a specific grammar/writing concept and review its rules and uses.

The goals of this class are:
∙ to give students a solid foundation to help them be more successful in their future writing classes
∙ to give students all the tools they need to become MASTER writers

🖨️ Printables
→ Immediately following each class, I will be uploading printable packets that cover the content we discussed that day. These packets may include detailed, easy-to-read notes of the material, worksheets, charts, tips & tricks, flashcards, etc. These are COMPLETELY OPTIONAL! Students may do 1 page, all pages, or no pages at all. This is just for some extra reinforcement of our topics. Nothing will be required to be turned in, but I will gladly check/review/critique any work the student would like me to look at.
→ I HIGHLY recommend students keep a "Grammar Binder" with all of their printed materials and notes. This will be an excellent resource for their future ELA/Grammar courses!
