1 hour per week. Students may choose to continue to write their ideas after class and build upon what we are learning in class. This is completely optional as no particular homework is assigned. *You will have the opportunity to explore our weekly concept after class by searching our story created in class. You may want your student for example to (circle) all of the adjectives in our story. Each week we cover a new concept together.Class Experience

🔹️Are you struggling or wondering how to teach your child English & writing concepts? This method will ease your mind and provide them with the foundation for speaking, reading, and writing. Let me explain how this easy writing practice time will work for your student:
👉This program focuses on English writing to provide simple and focused lessons weeding out the "fluffy" items that can stifle a learner's creativity. Each lesson will enable your student to build confidence and grasp concepts in a comfortable learning environment. There is no pressure to physically handwrite a paper, but I will partner with students to develop our ideas!
🔹️Students will be challenged and advance their paragraph development, writing knowledge, and grammar with encouragement. We will truly have fun learning to write together and boost students' "English" enjoyment in this ongoing practice time.
📝 Classes are ongoing and each class will have different concepts that will be presented while following our weekly format. (Students may choose to repeat the session cycle as our stories will change.)
Class layout each week will be as noted: (All writing is on-screen for students. )
1.) Picture of the Day: Engagement and Discovery Warm-up
2.) Brainstorm Paragraph Partnership: A guided exploration where we imagine, draw and design our ideas together. We will discover various elements of our paragraph each week. (adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, verbs, nouns, pronouns, and we will discuss why these help our writing flow)
*After class I will upload our story to the classroom.
📍The goal of each class is to provide practice time for students in a comfortable and exciting way to approach writing! Students will build confidence and learn to write together with a partnership approach! There are no prerequisites for this class. I only want students to learn, have fun, encourage each other, and build their writing ideas.
**Students may repeat the cycle of classes as we are always creating a new and unique story.
I will provide all concepts on-screen for students to see visually. We will partner together and explore our ideas. Interaction is key in learning writing and practice is always evolving for each of us. During our class time, I will provide guidance and positive reinforcement for students to blossom.

Other Details
Learning Needs
This class supports all learning levels and abilities. Many unique learning opportunities are available for dyslexic, dysgraphic, and neurodiverse learners, by providing options for all students to achieve the best learning environment.
Supply List
*There is a handout template on how we will write our paragraph in the classroom. You may print it out or bring along paper and a pencil if you'd like to handwrite our paragraph. This is optional as all writing will be provided on-screen.
Students can bring a whiteboard, dry-erase marker, pencil, paper, crayons, markers, or any other writing utensils they would like. Often students like to draw pictures with their writing and this is encouraged to help those ideas flow more easily. Our partnership approach can bring out those creative ideas and make writing truly fun!

As a homeschool mom for many years, I discovered the visual impact of writing and this simplistic approach to mastering concepts. Students are able to take this approach to write and master the concepts from elementary, middle, high school, and college levels. Writing is a developed skill that needs to be fostered carefully and is unique to each student. Sparking their creativity is key to grasping concepts, and I truly love connecting with each student to bring out their "writing" ideas.
I have also taught this approach to students at the college level who really never grasped the whole writing process. To see them finally understand and "get it" was amazing!
* There are no required books to purchase. I will write on-screen while facilitating our class. Reviews
