Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 5
Intermediate Level
Dive into classic children literature that entails the friendship of our best fur friends.  We will explore 2 classical stories. We will discuss their time period, explore literary elements, and work on comprehension skills as we jump into weekly discussions.  Participation is a requirement in my class. The students will read the required reading outside of class and then we will meet once a week to discuss what we have read. 

I will begin class by greeting everyone and giving everyone a time to talk about their week. Then we will jump right into the book. We will discuss story elements (characters, setting, problems/solutions, plot). Then we will go over notes that students took as they were reading, or any interesting story features that stood out as they read that week. I will ask comprehension question (main idea, sequencing, character conflicts, summarizing). 

I will provide a packet for notes as they read and some questions to help guide them as they read each book. 

Weeks 1-5: Where the Red Fern Grows 

Week 6-8: Old Yeller

Learning Goals

Students will explore literary elements as they read classical literature. 

Students will become deep thinkers as they explore problems in stories.

Teacher expertise and credentials
New York Teaching Certificate in English/Language Arts
I teach a variety of different classes geared toward elementary students ages 3 and up. My classes include ELA, Math, Writing, Phonics, Stories, teaching beginner, intermediate and advanced readers, simple to complex sentences, and much more. I love student participation and encourage it in all my class. 
I have 16 years of teaching experience.  I teach 4th grade ELA in a public school in NYS and have been teaching for 4 years on Outschool. I have a Masters in Elementary Education, Bachelors in History, Associates in Business. I have taught Pre-k, K, and ESL online. I have taught all subjects. Over my 16 years of teaching, I have gone to many different trainings in ELA, math, behavioral and I am trained in Logics by Ortan Gillingham and currently training and using restorative practices. 
I believe every child can learn but not all through the same method. Learning needs to be fun and engaging and needs to be a memorable experience for students to truly understand it. 
I am a mom to five wonderful kids ages 6-12. They keep me busy and I love being their number one teacher! 

Class Expectations 
1. Be on time and be prepared. Please read class material section for proper materials.
2. Class will go the full length of the time unless their is a small number of students, then it may be a little shorter (usually only five minutes) 
3. I like to engage my students through different activities and discussion, if a student doesn't want to participate that is fine, but I will encourage it. 
4. You must turn your camera on at the beginning of class.
