"Your mind is a garden and books are the seeds, so pick a favorite, and bloom as you read!" This class will examine the classic book, "The Cricket in Times Square," over the course of four weeks. We will examine vocabulary and comprehension questions from each chapter, but also dive into the world George Selden created with history and geography enrichment activities too. Discussion questions will be posted for class collaboration on the board after each session, as well as, further enrichment activities and research topics. This is a delightful classic that will enthrall and enchant those who read it! Late Enrollment: Your learner will not miss any class content by "enrolling late." This simply means there will be videos waiting for your learner to watch when they join the class.

Hello from Texas! Although I am currently residing in Texas, we move quite often and that has allowed me to have many different types of career experiences. I have tutored privately and through well-known organizations; taught in the public school classroom setting with a self-contained classroom; substituted and interned in private school classroom settings; instructed at the community college level; assisted with museum operations; and homeschooled my three munchkins. I have worked with early education all the way up to the community college level.Reviews
