We continually get notes like these from parents - “My son loved this class! He will be joining again next week. It is a struggle to get him to enjoy writing but he is so excited for the next class!”

📝 What to expect in class: 

Each session kicks off with an introduction to a new writing strategy, followed by a deep dive into our animal of the week. To reinforce learning, we focus on the same writing skill for two weeks, giving students time to master each concept. After the introduction, we will practice the skill by writing together using teacher-provided prompts. 

In this engaging and interactive class, young writers will begin an exciting journey through the animal kingdom while learning how to craft sentences. Perfect for kindergarten to 2nd-grade students, this class combines the fun of discovering new animals with essential writing skills.
