For this class, expect to have fun! ***STUDENTS MUST KNOW HOW AND BE ABLE TO USE THE CHAT BOX IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE DURING THIS CLASS At the beginning of each class, we will take a minute to build community and share about our week or our day and we may have a question of the day (depending on time or willingness to share) to get the conversation going. Sharing is not required! If sharing is difficult, we may also get to practice using the chat box to privately message the teacher our responses. No names called out! Once we are warmed up and ready to roll, we will begin by receiving a link in the chat box to the game we will play that day. The link will take you and your classmates to a site filled with games that help you practice your typing and your language arts skills at the same time! We can no longer challenge each other, but we will be challenging ourselves. A LOGIN IS REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE. Please bring your laptop or have your desktop available for class. Ipads and tablets may not work as well for this class. You will need to download the app for the site we are using to participate if using an Ipad! If at any point you feel you need more time to learn the keys of the keyboard, check out the Beginner Keyboarding 101 class! You will learn all you need! Language Arts skills we will practice are nouns, verb tenses, plurals, letter recognition and more! All activities are mostly for grades 1st grade and up. We will be practicing our typing and Language Arts skills at the same time! I cannot wait to start having fun with you!
Learning Goals
Students will build confidence and become even more familiar as well as quicker with their typing (even if it's only a little bit)!

Hello!
I am Lauren Cannon and I love getting to teach students from all over the world!
Living very close to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in the small town of Sylva has brought me so much joy and inspires me to spend as much time as possible outdoors. I enjoy hiking, seeing wildlife like a black bear, skunks, raccoons, lizards, skinks, opossums, snakes of every kind (eek!), insects of all kinds, and a bobcat on a regular basis at my house! I sometimes see them, or remnants of their time at our house in our garden or my cats bring them to our front door. Ha! We also enjoy spending time as a family swimming and gem mining in the rivers and lakes, traveling, or fishing and going for family rides off road from time to time.
While teaching and tutoring on my own or with Outschool, I am always finding some way to make learning fun by creating fun printables, virtual field trips, games and finding some way to make learning an experience to remember for everyone.
As a former Elementary School Teacher, I have always strongly believed in everyone getting to have a voice. Just like with genealogy, I love getting to hear everyone's story! Each child deserves to have a voice and to be heard. I do my best to make sure each student is heard in the classroom within reason or without taking away from our classmates class time.
I truly enjoy getting to help students have fun, but I also love getting to see their faces light up when they feel good about their learning. Seeing students learn and make progress in their learning blesses me beyond measure.
If you feel you have not had a good experience during a class we had together, please reach out to me in messages and let me know. I am looking for ways to improve and your input helps me be my best for my students.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me.
I cannot wait to see you in the classroom!
