Write On! Summer writing course
mini-course for 3rd-5th grade level writers
When: 8 weeks, Thursdays June 4th – July 23rd. 10:00am – 11:30am
Where: @ The Homeschool Supply Co
Cost: $200
Who: Students working at approximately a 3rd–5th grade writing level. This class is a great fit for both students who enjoy writing and those who may feel reluctant or need extra practice. It’s ideal for students who would benefit from a fresh, low-pressure approach to building writing skills and confidence.
What:
Whatever your child’s current writing skills, this 8-week summer course is designed to grow their confidence and get them excited about writing.
Through fun (and sometimes silly!) exercises, students will explore a variety of writing genres while stretching their skills and building fluency. Designed to be lighthearted and engaging, this workshop gives students the freedom to practice, play with language, and express their unique ideas.
Students will have the chance to try different styles of writing – creating a villain, attempting to sell an unsellable product, writing step-by-step instructions, and more!
Perfect for reluctant writers and enthusiastic storytellers alike!
Students will make interactive writing notebooks with notes, tips, and tools for writing.
We will cover:
-Introduction to brainstorming, writing sentences, paragraphs, editing, and offering peer feedback.
We will learn about and practice:
-Procedural writing
-Persuasive writing
-Creative writing
-Argumentative/opinion writing.
Summer classes at The Homeschool Supply Co always include popsicles 🙂

Summer Writers Workshops
We are able to host 10-12 students per class. Space is limited, so make sure you sign up in advance!
If your child falls into a roughly 3rd-5th grade writing level, they will be a good fit for this course. It will meet students where they are at, and help them take new steps in skill, and practice previously encountered skills.
This class requires that parents stay on site. We have a sun room with free coffee and tea and a playroom where younger siblings can play. If you need to make alternative arrangements, we will consider those on a case by case basis.
