This exciting course is designed to be a multi sensory approach to learning the alphabet! Each week, we will focus on a different letter. Learners will be introduced to the capital and lower case letter. We will then use Play Dough or Building Bricks to form the letter. Next, we will sing a song that focuses on the sound that they letter makes. Throughout class, different objects that begin with that letter will be revealed in a fun and exciting way. We will read a short book about the letter of the week. Learners may make connections to familiar objects and will be encouraged to name familiar foods or animals to connect the letter with known vocabulary! By using a multi sensory approach, children will be confident in remembering their letters and begin building the foundation for reading! As their teacher, I will guide them through each letter with motions and props! We will cover phonological awareness through an interactive lesson. Learners will be moving, singing, laughing, and learning! Learners may share objects that they know that begin with that letter. You will be provided with files that includes a letter coloring sheet, play dough mat, building brick mat, and a reader so that learners can build their own letter book and practice identifying that letter. These activities are optional, but they reinforce the letters we are learning in fun way! If time allows, we will conclude class with an interactive game to practice identifying the letter of the week!

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!Reviews
