Welcome to Second Grade English Language Arts!

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

🔹Weekly Live Meetings: We will meet every 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.  

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.

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!  🌟🚀
