US Grade Pre-Kindergarten - Kindergarten
In this ongoing class, popular picture books will be read aloud each week and shared with some of our youngest Outschoolers. Children will be able to practice conversational skills, their social emotional education and practice critical thinking skills while aligning with CCSS (Common Core State Standards). Pajamas and stuffed animals are welcome!
In each class we will use picture clues to help us make predictions, look for familiar letters or words. Sometimes books can also act as excellent practice cases for real life social situations. We may describe how a character is feeling or what they might be thinking in order to practice relationship skills in varied scenarios and help us produce ideas for responsible decision making. We'll ask questions that lead us into discussions about kindness and friendship. And we will use the mentor texts to take a look within ourselves. This will help us with self awareness and self management skills. I look forward to meeting your young one soon!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Oregon Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hello!
My name is Ms. Taylor and I am so excited to meet you! I hope that you decide to take one of my classes. Before you do, here is a bit about me...
Educational Background--
I graduated college with a BS in Elementary Education and ESOL endorsement. This endorsement helps me to teach English Speakers of Other Languages but also provides me with more enhanced skills I can use to adapt my teaching for any learner struggling with English, reading and comprehension. Since then I have also received a TESOL certificate. I have been a brick and mortar teacher for six years now as my full time job. When I have time I love to teach online too! Between Outschool and an additional online tutoring company I have been teaching online for about four years now. I have taught students aged 4-12 both online and in school physically. For the current academic school year I am teaching 4th grade for the fourth year in person. I have also taught kindergarten, 1st and 5th grade in person as well.
Classes--
I am very passionate about teaching and move to make learning in our classroom enjoyable. I absolutely love to read and instill that same passion in my students. I am particularly interested in helping students identify letter names and sounds, practice phonemic awareness and gain better reading comprehension strategies. I strongly believe reading and writing go hand in hand. I'd relish the chance to enhance your student's reading and writing skill.
Fun Facts--
Besides teaching I love to travel, hike and spend time with my animals. I've traveled quite a bit in Europe and enjoy visiting my family and friends scattered across the United States. My German Shepherd also shares a love for hiking and travel. He often goes with me wherever I go. I have owned and trained horses most of my life. I began riding donkeys when I was 2 years but my passion for horses grew as I aged. I worked hard to buy my first horse when I was 13 and have held that love for horses ever since. I still have the two horses I bought when I was young. I enjoy snuggling up with my cats, a cup of hot tea and reading a good book. I am so excited to trade knowledge with your child about their animal experiences, love for travel or other outside activities!
I look forward to meeting your learner in the classroom! See you soon!Reviews
