You will help students develop their confidence as writers while guiding them through the writing process, from brainstorming and pre-writing to drafting and revising.

Join us Wednesdays 3:20pm - 4:40 pm as we help fourth and fifth graders understand their homework directions, brainstorm, plan their writing, draft, and edit for grammar. This is an amazing opportunity to engage students' creativity, build their confidence as writers, and help them develop strong homework habits!
