SEMESTER Courses
Cultivating curious minds through exceptional literature and purposeful learning.
Students will actively practice a full semester of English/Language Arts standards with direct instruction, assigned weekly homework, class activities, and detailed feedback for EACH assignment (both homework and classwork!). We work with each learner at their individual level to build Language Arts skills and strategies, assisting students to be able to apply this knowledge independently.
In these small group classes, there will be a maximum of 7 learners. This allows us to give each student extra attention and assistance during every session, as well as outside of class time through homework feedback and discussion. These classes are ESL friendly, Neurodivergent friendly, Dyslexic friendly, and all learners are welcomed! We make learning exciting by providing a plethora of activity types to demonstrate mastery of the ELA standards, while providing extensive support, guidance, and individualized feedback. We will use slideshows, graphic organizers, projects, class discussions, games, hands-on activities, HUMOR, and multiple means of writing throughout the semester.
After each class session, we will post a detailed description of skills we've learned, recommended next steps, homework instructions, and multiple screenshots from our lesson for review. Students will be required to complete homework each session and submit it to the classroom for prompt feedback. We will provide detailed, personalized feedback for each assignment within 3-5 days.
