Class Experience

US Grade Preschool - 1
In this interactive virtual experience, we will use an external website to go on a virtual expedition. I'll lead the group through the virtual adventure and narrate the tour which will include an introduction on the solar system. I encourage students to ask questions along the way. We will explore the solar system and even a bit of science all while virtually touring spectacular views of outer space. Students will learn about the solar system along with smaller bodies in the form of asteroids, meteoroids and comets. During this course students will also learn about the Sun, Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud. The following ways of learning styles will be included: visual, verbal, logical and social.
Learning Goals
Students will learn a variety of facts about planets and space. The intent is to spark each students interest in doing their own further research and pursue the study of astronomy.

Hello my name is Sharon Spencer! I am a proud wife of a U.S. Military Officer and a mother to two wonderful young children who I homeschool. I have traveled to three continents, as well as most States in the United States and lived in many cities! The result is a creative, interactive and personalized approach to teaching life skills. The content of my lectures is meant to be a resource for anyone curious about learning and wanting to understand the concept of multiple topics. My travels around the world have encouraged me to merge my adventures with my passion for teaching. Learners of all ages who are driven by curiosity and a love of learning new things will be intrigued by my classes.
 
I was born in Philippines though lived most of my life in the United States. I have 12 years of college and teaching experience with degrees and certifications primarily in computer programming. I studied various other fields such as photography, astronomy, nutrition and business. I am eager to teach subjects that I love which include astronomy, math, arts & crafts, programming, spelling, makeovers, story-telling and time-management. As a teacher, I am also always looking forward to learning from my students. It is my belief that we all have something to teach one another as we all have different experiences. Every topic has the potential to foster great class discussion and I encourage the exchange of ideas and questions. I look forward to participating in a fun and interactive online learning experience! 
 
My mission is to provide a comfortable environment for lifelong learners. I will be establishing clear learning objectives that each student will be able to follow with clarity and focus. Recognizing that there are different learning styles, I will implement various methods in my classes to aid with visual, auditory, reading/writing and kinesthetic learning. I encourage learning through interactivity, real-world purpose, discussion and reflection. I believe in nurturing my students interests and allow them to take control of their own learning experience through repetition and self-discovery. I love to see how each child develops their talents and gifts through exploration.
 
Please send me a message if you have any questions or desire a particular class or time.  I’m looking forward to meeting you and providing unique learning opportunities. I also offer private tutoring for elementary students.
***Note: If I do not respond to your message within 48 hours (or the following weekday), assume that I did not get the email notification and please message me again. Thank you!
