Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 4
Beginner - Intermediate Level
This ESL-friendly class offers one-on-one reading help for students who love cats, dogs, and nature! Students can choose from a list of original stories featuring Pumpkin, Marigold, and Poochie. These adventurous pets make discoveries and meet new animal friends.

Here’s what we’ll do in class:

1. Students will pick a Pumpkin, Marigold, and Poochie story that interests them.
2.  We’ll review six vocabulary words from the story, practicing pronunciation and checking understanding.
3. We’ll read the story aloud, work on decoding tricky words, and getting reading practice. As we read, we’ll talk about the characters and main ideas.
4. After completing the story, we’ll use a story map to explore key story elements like characters, setting, sequence of events, and summary.
5. Finally, we’ll revisit our vocabulary list with a matching challenge to reinforce the words we’ve learned!
6. If students like, we can draw a cute animal together.

Each story has a reading award for students to print and color if they wish.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Minnesota Teaching Certificate in English/Language Arts
Hello! Thank you for stopping by! I love students of all ages and I love teaching a variety of topics. Some of my favorite classes to teach are reading, nature, and science. I try to create a positive and encouraging atmosphere so learners feel comfortable in participating. I want students to have fun while learning!

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from Minnesota State University, a Minnesota teaching license, and a 160 hour TEFL certification.

I have been teaching and guiding children since 2000 as a preschool/childcare provider, an ELA teacher in public school classrooms, and an ESL teacher in online classrooms. 

I love teaching, but I also love being a student! I take as many classes as possible on whatever subject piques my interest. Teaching and learning are my life!

When my three daughters are home from college we love going for hikes, cooking together, and of course, snuggling our two funny cats, Pumpkin and Marigold.

I hope to see your learner in class!
