Welcome to Analytical Grammar! This class provides a systematic approach to language mastery. Since each unit includes study notes, practice exercises and diagrams, Co-op time together will focus on teaching lesson objectives and practice with feedback from instructor and peers. Basic parts of speech, patterns, phrases, and clauses are covered in the fall. Spring units will address more difficult grammar concepts such as advanced clauses, punctuation rules, subject/verb and pronoun/antecedent agreement, and punctuation of dialogue, to name a few. We will move at a swift pace since this curriculum is targeted for completion in three years but we will complete it in only one! Through weekly practice, students learn how the individual grammar elements work together cohesively. Each unit provides students opportunities to analyze visual diagrams and weekly review, which improves memory and creates a richer understanding of grammatical concepts. Students will be provided feedback via instructor, weekly assignments, tests, and peer interaction in lieu of letter grades.
3rd grade Core subjects: ELA, math, science, history with Biblical integration
4th grade Core subjects: ELA, math, science, history with Biblical integration

Welcome to Let’s Go! Lit (7-8) Middle school students are hungry for deeper examination of literature selections to compare and contrast the elements that build story complexity.

Students will gain experience verbalizing perceived strengths and weaknesses in literature, thereby building confidence in reading, thinking, speaking, and listening skills.
