In this class we learn the “Roots of English” with flash card and lots of games that keep it fun and challenging. By the end of the school year your scholar will know 200 words in Greek and Latin, how to spell them and how they are used in English every day.
We also study logic and reasoning. My scholars work through logic puzzles and ideas to help them to learn to think for themselves and question the world around them.
The main body of the class is creative writing. They focus on using descriptive words that paint a picture for the reader. My students have learned how to write long stories that have detailed plots and characters. We start off by building a world out of clay and writing the back ground of two main characters that will go through challenges, struggles and triumphs in this world. Every week I give them something to add to their stories to challenge their writing and to keep it fun.
My son took this class when he was 9 years old. The teacher was excellent and really inspired him to write. His favorite activity was writing his own book.
