In this ongoing class we will explore letters, and learn about animals we find on our safari. What animals do you see in the zoo? Let's explore those words and letters together. ⭐ Every week we will learn 1 - 2 letters. ⭐ We will explore animals and safari and zoo related words, with the letter of the week. ⭐ We will use our coloring, sticking and manipulatives to make the letters ⭐ Explore the letter formation ⭐ Some of our favorite words are Axolotl, Chameleon, Elephant Shrew, Gorilla, Lemur, Mantis Shrimp and Narwhal 👷 Lets talk with our friends about our favorite animals! Every class will start with a 'Show and Tell' with our friends! We will then learn about the letter(s) of the week, and the Words and Animals with that letter. This is an interactive and engaging class where learners will share, do hands-on activities and enjoy a fun game with their friends.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in Education from Open University
Hello! My name is Roisin. Welcome to my classroom!
I have a both a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and a Master's Degree in Education. For more than 20 years I have been a teacher and an educator. I have been a classroom teacher, a curriculum designer, a teacher trainer and an online English teacher. I have experience teaching students from PreSchool through to 9th grade, both in a regular classroom and also in a virtual classroom. For me as an educator, it has been rewarding at every level to nurture and foster early skills and equip young learners with the tools they need to inquire and question about the world around them. I love to see how these skills grow and develop, and support learners as they progress throughout the grades.
I believe that children learn when they are actively engaged in their learning, sharing their ideas and collaborating with their peers. Learning is inspired by lessons that are meaningful and relevant to students. The lessons spark their interest, nurture and develop an understanding of a 'big idea' and build essential skills. And of course fun and enjoyment in the classroom are essential ingredients too. When students are happy and engaged, those meaningful conversations and interactions happen naturally in the classroom.
Over the past few years I have learned to surf (badly). I am by no means a good surfer (in fact I'm pretty poor), but there is nothing more rewarding than finally standing upright on that board! Its good to feel the challenge of slowly mastering the various steps, before finally mastering the 'pop-up'. And nothing more humbling than seeing the little kids whizz past you as you struggle to master those skills during the process!
