After the lesson, we will practice spelling words with that rule, and then have a time of review where they write sentences using rules from past lessons. The sentences will have high-frequency words in them that will help them learn to spell words that are used often. 

If you have an older child that struggles with spelling, this will be a great class for them. 

Every child will be participating by using their own whiteboard and have a chance to show their work. We will also focus on using capital letters, periods, and other punctuation marks when writing a sentence.
