Description
Class Experience
This class is taught in English.
The goal of the class is to review reading comprehension strategies and encourage story telling and good verbal communication skills.
I have enjoyed 24 years in the public school system and have the following experience: *Currently teaching middle school ELA Elementary Education--certified (with preschool, elementary, and middle school teaching experience) Preschool Special Education--certified Gifted and Talented Endorsement Reading Endorsement Education Administration
Students are asked to complete their assignment if they do not finish before class is over. Students/parents are welcome and encouraged to send me the student's work through Outschool if they would like it proofread and/or would like some additional feedback on the student's writing. Parents can also practice reading comprehension strategies at home: 1. Be sure you have your child's attention. 2. Minimize distractions. 3. As you read, have students repeat phrases back to you. 4. Ask yourself questions while you read…”I wonder why…” 5. Use “wait time.” Give students a minute to think before repeating your question. 6. Check for understanding. Ask them to repeat the question back to you. 7. Help students make connections between the book and their own experiences! 8. For emergent writers, always pair writing and drawing together! Draw and write with them!
No extra materials are required for this class. The following books will be read aloud to students: Book Sequence: Day 1: How Raggedy Ann Got Her Candy Heart Day 2: Raggedy Ann and Andy and the Nice Police Officer Day 3: Raggedy Ann and the Birthday Surprise (by Stephanie True Peters) Day 4: Raggedy Ann and Andy and the Camel With the Wrinkled Knees Day 5: Raggedy Ann and Rags
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Students will be assessed informally through participation, questioning, and by completing a written response and drawing based on the book we read. (Note: We will review pre-writing strategies for young writers who do not yet write words.) Students are asked to complete their assignment if they do not finish before class is over. Students/parents are welcome and encouraged to send the student's work to me through Outschool if they would like it proofread and/or would like additional feedback on the student's writing.
3 hours 45 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
The teacher will read the books aloud, so there are no materials required for this course. The following books by Johnny Gruelle will be read to the students: Book Sequence: Day 1: How Raggedy Ann Got Her Candy Heart Day 2: Raggedy Ann and Andy and the Nice Police Officer Day 3: Raggedy Ann and the Birthday Surprise (by Stephanie True Peters) Day 4: Raggedy Ann and Andy and the Camel With the Wrinkled Knees Day 5: Raggedy Ann and Rags
