Description

Class Title: IEW Discoveries in Writing


Grades: 3-5


Course Description: IEW is a writing program that provides a comprehensive, systematic
approach for developing great writers. Your student will become fully capable of extracting their
ideas, organizing their thoughts, and presenting their results clearly and competently. The IEW
method is similar to methods one might use to teach music, art, or even sports. Students practice
both narrative and non-fiction writing while learning the structure and style of good writing. As this
program is meant to be taught multiple years, each year there will be a new theme-based book. This
year we are using Discoveries in Writing which includes historical and scientific stories as well as
fables and biographies. It is appropriate for first time IEW students as well as those continuing in
the program.


Materials: Students will need the Discoveries in Writing student book.


Class Max for students: 16


Cost of Class (per semester): $330


Method of Payment: directly to teacher, accepts Sky Mountain funds

Bio: After earning my BA from UCLA and my Teaching Credential from UCI, I taught elementary
school for 12 years, finding that the best teaching and learning experiences
were experiential and hands-on. When the kids were “doing” they were
happier and more successful. After homeschooling my own son, I found
that my calling was to work with other home school families nearby. My
passion for teaching and for connecting with each and every student in my
care, continues to light my way. In my free time I love to garden, read, and
explore the world with my husband and now college-aged son.
I teach IEW writing, math and science to elementary students at PC Prep.
I also teach and tutor reading intervention, Spanish, and Yoga at all levels.
