🌷 Enrollment for Spring Semester is Now Open! 🌼

Embark on a thrilling language adventure with our comprehensive 3rd/4th-grade English class! Join us for an engaging semester where we'll explore the wonders of language through live sessions, interactive activities, and weekly spelling/vocabulary challenges. I am passionate about fostering a love for language arts, making learning both fun and educational.

PLEASE NOTE THAT EACH WEEK STUDENTS WILL HAVE A SPELLING OR VOCABULARY LIST TO STUDY FOR THE WEEK.  

📚 Classroom Format:

This class will meet 2 times a week for 35 minutes.  I teach through slides engaging the learners to participate and show what they learn.  This class uses Nearpod so students should have asses to a device that allows them to toggle between Zoom and the Nearpod browser or app.  Nearpod allows me instant access to assess student’s understanding and it challenges the students to try hard through friendly competition.
