Class Experience

Each week we will explore a different insect. We will learn about its life cycle, habitat, and other interesting facts. We will learn through  stories and videos. Our class will begin with the story, then move to the video, and finish with a related bug craft. I like to use PowerPoint to show the stories and videos. We will work together on the craft. 

Week 1 Butterflies
Week 2 Bee
Week 3 Ladybug
Week 4 Grasshopper
Week 5 Ants
Week 6 Fireflies
Week 7 Rollie Pollies 

****UPDATE! Parents and learners, I have added stand alone classes to my course listings. So, if you are in a section and missed a class or just want to take one class and not the whole series, please check out my class list and save the classes you are interested in. This will help me know what classes to schedule and let you know when I schedule them. Thanks!

Teacher expertise and credentials

HI! My name is Michelle and I love teaching!! I currently teach with VIPKid, teaching English to students in China ages 3 to 15. I absolutely love it!! I also taught a variety of after school classes at my son's elementary school for 6 years. I taught cooking, Reader's Theater, Geocaching, and Yearbook. I was a merit badge counselor for my son's Boy Scout troop and helped him earn his Eagle Badge. I have several degrees, BA in Small Business, BA in Marketing, and a degree in Pastry Arts. I am also a licensed EMT and work as a medic in the film industry. I have worked as a medic for the last 10 years and love it!

As a teacher, I believe that learning should be fun! Students learn better when they enjoy what they are doing. I also believe that students should be allowed to make mistakes. It is when we correct our mistakes that we learn our lessons. I like students to be inquisitive and excited to be in class because that is when the real magic happens!

At my house, we have 5 cats and 1 dog. We also often have horses, chickens, cows, and rabbits wandering in our neighborhood. It is not uncommon to see a variety of animals that do not belong to us hanging out in our front yard. In October, every year, my city of Albuquerque,has the International Balloon Fiesta - the most photographed event in the world. It is a beautiful time of the year and I hope to have a class on it! 

I cannot wait to see you in my classroom!
