If you love space and want to learn more about the stars, comets, meteors, and asteroids, this is the class for you! Learners will begin class with a quick ice breaker to help them get to know each other! They can bring a space toy or picture to class so that they can share what they know about space with others. . We will read a book about an asteroid called, "Oh No, Astro" by Matt Roeser. Learners will be encouraged to share their knowledge, ask questions, and make connections about the text. They will learn fun facts about the asteroids and other objects in space. After the story, learners will draw the night sky. They can choose to follow along to a directed drawing or use their creativity to draw freely. Finally, we will write a short story or fun facts about objects in space. If time allows, we will read our writing to each other to share our ideas!

Hello! I am Kristen Galloway. I am a curious life long learner, and I want to share my love of learning with others! I am passionate about making learning fun, engaging, and relevant. I want to meet each child where they are developmentally and be a part of their journey of discovery. With a background in general education, I love to teach lessons that incorporate reading, writing, math, science, social studies. Learners should feel comfortable and welcome in the classroom. I think it is important to make learning a personal experience for each learner. I encourage each student to share their thinking. I work create a space where learners feel comfortable to learn. In order for every child to flourish they need to be seen, heard, and loved.
I believe in building relationships with my students and making learning engaging and connected to their lives. I use a multi-sensory approach to learning. I incorporate multiple domains throughout my lessons. I love to have fun in the classroom through conversations, games, and hands-on learning.
I have a Bachelor's of Science and a Master of Arts in Education. I have my TEFL and TESOL certifications. For the past 14 years, I have taught every grade from PreK-4th grade, sponsored a 3rd-5th grade STREAM club and a K-5 book club. I have also taught English online since 2019.
I have a 21 year old daughter, a 7 year old son, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and an axolotl. In my spare time, I love to read, play card and board games, hike, and watch movies. We love to travel and explore, and enjoy the journey as much as the destination!
