Class Experience

This beginner book study course is designed to encourage and engage early readers that are somewhat new to chapter books and book studies. 
To build community and inclusion, each class will begin with greetings, a safety commitment,  and a "Would You Rather" style get to know you question. I will use class time to read chapters of the book aloud, guide interactive discussion, and lead fun hands on activities to extend learning.  Alongside the text I will use a variety of reading comprehension...

Learners will use a variety of reading skills and strategies to aid their understanding of the story.
Learners will use imagination and creativity to extend an idea from the story.  
Learners will discuss story ideas, including complex vocabulary and language, with other learners in a fun, safe environment.

My greatest joy in teaching is to connect with learners, meeting them where they are and helping them to build the confidence needed to grow their unique potential.  Social emotional learning is at the foundation of all of my classes.  I've been teaching preschool and elementary school for decades and while I continue to teach necessary and important classroom skills, I always make time to notice and value each child in our time together.  A book study is a great vehicle to study characters, plot, problems, and solutions in relation to our own life stories.
