Students will practice basic spelling patterns to spell and write age appropriate words. We will be working on retelling narrative stories and adding details to our stories with a beginning, middle and end. We will also practice basic concepts of print such as capitalization and ending punctuation. This will follow up from our fall class but new students are welcome to join. By the end of the semester students will write their own narrative stories with a beginning, middle and end. Students should know all letters and sounds, as well as be able to confidently write their letters. This is an enrichment course to encourage creative writing and will not include any required homework. *Please choose the writing course that best fits your child's ability levels and not necessarily their age or grade. Bio: Originally from Ohio and with a degree in Elem. Education from Ohio Univ., I've called Florida home for the past 18 years. My first ten years were spent teaching elem. school in Pinellas Cty. I am a wife to an adventure loving entrepreneur and mother to 2 spunky girls, 2 poodles and 3 cats. Our family is in our 4th year of homeschooling and our 3rd as members of HEAT. I'm a firm believer that we, as parents, are blessed to be our children's first teachers and that learning happens all day, every day. When we don't have our noses buried in a good book or are out on an adventure, you can usually find me fiddling in my garden or cooking in the kitchen. I'm excited to be jumping back into teaching here at HEAT to support other homeschooling families on this wonderful journey where God has called us.
