In this 4 week self-paced course, students will be working through Mission 1 in Zearn. Mission 1 is a culmination of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade. Additionally, students extend their understanding of decimal fractions to the thousandths place and more sophisticated patterns of our base ten system. Daily work includes a video lesson from the teacher to include a warm-up, fluency practice and a daily word problem. Students are then directed to Zearn where they will compete additional practice. The teacher provides monitoring and feedback through assessments and Zearn data.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello and welcome to my profile! I'm Katelyn a former 5th grade teacher turned stay at home mom. I love teaching and I knew that I wanted to continue while also being home with my children. Enter Outschool! I love to teach math, book clubs, writing, yoga and baking. I have my bachelors from the University of South Dakota in K-8 elementary education with an emphasis in reading and technology. I taught reading for a year to 6-8th graders and I taught all subjects in a self-contained 5th grade classroom for 5 years. I also hold a certification in yoga instruction.
I truly believe that all students are able to learn and that it is my job to help them achieve mastery. I believe in a respectful classroom atmosphere where we are able to lightly tease each other, laugh, and learn. Students in my experience learn best when they know that their teacher is a real person and can be personable and not robotic.
I currently have two children (one toddler and one infant). My days are wild and chaotic and I can only do on-demand classes at the time, however, I want your children to succeed and will be accessible as much as I can be. If a need arises, I am able to do one-on-one tutoring in the evenings or Saturday mornings.
