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 25 years in the public school system and have the following experience:

*Currently teaching middle school ELA in public school
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! 
Crayons or colored pencils paper No extra materials are required for this class. The following Mercer Mayer books will be read aloud to students: Book Sequence: Day 1: Just Going to the Dentist Day 2: I Was So Mad Day 3: Me Too! Day 4: All By Myself Day 5: Just Me and My Mom
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 no time outside of class.
The teacher will read the books aloud, so there are no materials required for this course.  The following books by Mercer Mayer will be read to the students:

Book Sequence:
Day 1:  Just Going to the Dentist
Day 2:  I Was So Mad
Day 3: Me Too!
Day 4:  All By Myself
Day 5:  Just Me and My Mom
