🌟 Welcome to Second-Grade English Language Arts!🌟

In this fun and interactive English Language Arts class, students will work on second-grade creative writing, reading comprehension, reading fluency, spelling, and grammar skills through creative and engaging activities.  Each week will focus on a different aspect of second-grade English Language Arts.  

This class works great for homeschoolers or as a supplement for public school learners!

🔹Twice Weekly Live Meetings:  We will meet twice a week to learn together.

🔹Optional Homework:   Students will be given optional homework each week.  This homework will build on the class content and reinforce our learning.  Homework will often be a book to read with worksheets to complete.

During the writing weeks, students will receive comprehensive instructions along with a creative writing component to inspire their imaginations.  

Our reading classes will be dedicated to reading, analyzing texts, and participating in discussions, with a reduced emphasis on writing during these weeks. 

We will teach grammar utilizing various engaging activities and practical examples. 

Let's learn and have fun together! 📖🎉

You are welcome to join the class at any time, and each week stands independently without building on the previous one.

We (usually) have a couple of minutes of optional off-topic sharing at the end of each class.  This allows students to connect with each other and share things that are going on in their lives outside the classroom.

🌟This is an inclusive class and all learners are welcome.  

The reading level for this class is Reading A to Z Level K-P or 451L-650L.  If you are not sure if this is a good fit for your learner, please reach out!

This relaxed English Language Arts class will go through the second-grade curriculum in a creative and engaging way.  We can't wait to meet your learner in the classroom!  🌟🚀
