Beginner Level
This class will be an interactive game of Pig. Pig is a game that is played by rolling the dice, tallying up the numbers and the first one to reach 100 wins. This game allows a student to think strategically, if they decide to be 'greedy' and keep the dice they will end up losing all their points. Students will learn the concept of taking turns, the longer they hold the dice the higher chance they have to lose all their points. Pig also incorporates basic math skills as they will have to tally the dice every time they roll. The goal of the game is to see who can get to 100 points first. This class is structured as an interactive class where we will decide who will go first, and then that student will roll the dice and thinking strategically how long to hold on to their dice before turning it over to the next student. I will monitor for great sportsmanship among each player. I will be sure that each player gets a fair share of turns. Students will need to have basic addition skills or assistance with addition, a calculator may be used if necessary. This is a class that students can play at home or on the road. It's known as a boredom buster.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Welcome! I live in Virginia with my two precious boys Ashton, and Carson and a beloved partner of 17 years; Jeremy. I enjoy traveling, spending time with my kids, learning new things, and I especially enjoy teaching. Teaching has always been a dream of mine and I continue to find different enlightening avenues to fulfill this dream.
I have a Bachelor of Liberal Arts with a concentration in Elementary Education, Associates of Arts & Science, and a certificate in Surgical Technology.
I am a licensed teacher and taught 2nd grade for three years and will be teaching third grade this coming year.
I have experience in teaching students to read, write, and math skills.
I started my career as a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant), I then received my certificate in Surgical Technology (CST) and worked in the operating room for 5 years. Then I taught the clinical/lab portion of the Surgical Technology program at the community college level. I worked for a short time in a daycare/preschool setting teaching ages 3-5, which lead me to becoming a Special Education Teacher Assistant in an elementary school, teaching children from kindergarten to fifth grade, this position pathed the way for my current job as a public educator. I volunteered with the local Girl Scouts, for about 5 years, as a troop leader for girls ages 5-18.
I am hoping to teach a diverse group of classes touching on different areas of my expertise and career paths. I enjoy being in the classroom and working with all children, Outschool is just a different version of that classroom and I look forward to working with your child(ren) and enjoying a class(es) together here on Outschool.
