Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5
Beginner - Intermediate Level
In this interactive flexible schedule class, students will be learning about 40 different dog breeds. They will learn about some of the smallest, largest, and rarest dog breeds! 

Each week, we will focus on 10 dog breeds. The lessons will include lots of pictures, facts, and information about each dog breed. The learners will discover how big, small, or unique the dogs are. We will review size, temperament, history, care tips, and more for each dog breed. Each week, there will be an interactive instruction video posted, a Quizlet activity to practice recognizing the dog breeds, weekly discussion posts where the students are able to respond to the lesson with other learners, and weekly share post where students are able to share what pets they have or want, favorite books books about dogs, dogs they have seen that week, and favorite dog breed. As the teacher, I will be quick to respond to and monitor all discussions posts, share posts, and student responses on our classroom page. 

In all of my flexible schedule courses, I make sure to be a very active part of guiding this class and interacting with the students. This is a flexible scheduled course so that the students will be able to complete the lessons at their own pace. There are no due dates except the fact that the class ends on a certain date. The instructional videos created by me will teach the dog breeds each week are interactive and will have pop up questions (using Edpuzzle) throughout to check for understanding. Below is a breakdown of which dog breeds will be covered each week.

Hello and welcome!
I'm Kristin, and I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to meet your learner(s)! I am a certified teacher with a B.S. Ed. in Early Childhood Education and Special Education. With years of experience teaching both in the classroom and online, I bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to my teaching.

In addition to teaching, I'm a business owner and have a background as a horseback riding instructor, which adds a unique perspective to my approach. My teaching philosophy centers around not just imparting knowledge, but inspiring a love of learning. I believe that when learners develop a genuine curiosity, they are motivated to grow, succeed, and eventually inspire others.

I create a classroom environment that is safe, inclusive, and supportive of all learners, regardless of their abilities. I'm experienced in tailoring lessons to meet individual needs and learning preferences, ensuring that every student feels confident and engaged. My teaching covers a broad range of subjects, with a particular focus on literature, life skills, nature, history, and geography.

Outside of the classroom, I have a variety of personal passions: horseback riding (both English and Western styles), reading, playing guitar, dancing, dog training, learning new languages, and exploring the world through travel. I love incorporating students' passions into their learning journey and am always open to hearing feedback, ideas, and preferences to make the learning experience even more meaningful.

What is your learner’s passion? I can’t wait to help them discover new interests and grow in their education. I look forward to meeting your learner(s) soon!
