Class Experience

US Grade Pre-Kindergarten - 1
Beginner Level
This class is a read aloud of a fiction story by the author, Robert Munsch.   I will give the students a voice/choice on which story we will read depending on their interests. The focus will be on listening to a fiction story and comprehending what was read.  We will discuss story elements such as characters, setting of the story, and the problems in the story.  We will use the pictures to further understand the story. We will discuss the author's purpose for writing the story.  The students will make predictions and work on comprehension.  The students will further demonstrate a love of books and emerge with a strong reading foundation. The students will be encouraged to read the repeated lines in the story, if they feel comfortable doing so. This class can be a much needed break in a busy day to share a laugh or two with some new friends.  So grab a comfy place to sit and maybe a snack and get ready to listen to a story.  Feel free to enroll your child in the class again as the books will change each week.

Learning Goals

-The students will practice their listening skills.

Hi!  Welcome to my Outschool classroom. 

My name is Betty Nilssen.  💕

I have a BS in Elementary Education with a minor in Spanish from UW-Milwaukee.  I am a first grade teacher, but I have also taught second, third and fourth grade, full inclusive classrooms.  My teaching license certifies me to teach grades 1~6. My passion for teaching reading while incorporating phonics, phonemic awareness, rhyming, comprehension, fluency, vocabulary, science, social studies, math, drawing and writing helps children strengthen their academic skills while they gain academic confidence and a love of learning.  Teaching reading is my super power.  I can support your young learner. 

I have three adult daughters and two of them are teachers.  My mom was also an educator.

There are so many books to read, words and sentences to write, math equations to solve and fiction and non fiction pictures to draw and label. Let's get started!  

Enroll your Early Childhood Education student and your child will further develop an academic foundation and gain academic confidence with a love of learning. Your child will be a life long reader! 

Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or if you are looking for different times or dates for classes.  
I can't wait to work with you and your child and further a passion for learning!
