Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 2
Intermediate Level
In this class, students will learn the steps of narrative writing as we write and illustrate a group story about animals  going for a walk on the plain.  I will dress like a zebra, wearing a striped shirt and a headband with zebra ears. Learners are encouraged to also dress like an animal of their choice. Keep it simple and comfortable, like a t-shirt with an animal on it, or a headband with ears, etc. 

First, we will brainstorm to create a graphic organizer of the setting, sequence the events, add transition words, and add a conclusion. Then, we will use this graphic organizer to plan our story and write the story on the writing template. There will be time to illustrate and share the stories.

Supplies to gather before class:
•	(optional) Animal costume (any) This can be a T-shirt with an animal on it or no costume and a lot of imagination.
•	Both handouts (printed before class)
•	A pencil
•	Crayons, colored pencils or markers.

Hello!  My name is Sharon, Teacher Sharon. I am both thankful and excited to have this opportunity to help children from all over the world have fun while learning. I love making learning fun! 

I have my Masters of Education (MEd) and over 20 years of experience teaching and learning from children of all ages. I have experience as a nursery school director, a Kid's Club supervisor (twice) and a classroom teacher for Pre-K through high school. I have also taught technology, after-school elementary science classes, cupcake decorating, and brick building. 

I am very fortunate to have grown up overseas and have lived all over the world. Some of my many passions include creating fun, educational classes, scuba diving, traveling, science, crafting, my precious dog, cat, fish and snails and of course teaching.

I like to keep class sizes small to help learners engage and participate. If your child is interested in any of my classes that are not currently scheduled, or if a different time or day would work better for you, please feel free to contact me.

Learning in my classroom is engaging, energetic, fun, enjoyable, upbeat and entertaining. "Your child won't want to leave at the end of class and will beg to come back for more." (That's my superhero catch phrase.) 

NOTE: I am very flexible with class scheduling. If you are interested in one of my classes, but you don't see it listed on a day or time that you want, please find a class that is already listed when you want the class. Send me a message and I will do my best to switch the class that you want with the one that is already listed.

I look forward to helping your child have fun while learning. Have a wonderful day,

~Teacher Sharon🙂
