Lit for Littles (Grades 1-2)
Teacher : Janiene Bishop
Wednesdays 9:00 - 10:00
$335 per semester (2 semester course)
This dynamic class is designed to encourage beginning readers and writers to love great books and enjoy the writing process. Throughout the course, students will learn how to write complete sentences, whole paragraphs, and their own creative stories. Games, art projects, and group work will help lay a foundation for a lifelong love of literature!
Students will average reading one book per week and complete simple homework assignments. The work load is entirely flexible, based on each student’s ability, and the teacher will work closely with parents to provide a personalized program that is challenging, but never overwhelming.
Some of the books and activities we will enjoy together are:
Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson
How To Make An Apple Pie And See The World by Marjorie Priceman
Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak
The Thanksgiving Story by Alice Dalgliesh
The Pilgrims’ First Thanksgiving by Ann McGovern
The Most Wonderful Doll in the World by Phyllis McGinley
The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein
