Class Experience

US Grade Kindergarten - 2
Earth is amazing!  In this class young learners will learn all about our planet Earth.  What is on the Earth's surface?  How does the land on Earth change?  What are Earth's resources?  This class will help to answer those questions, and more!  In this class I will teach very important science vocabulary that corollate with different aspects of Earth's Resources.  Each lesson will be taught using lots of pictures and discussion to help children have a better understanding of what is being taught.  Each class will build on each other to help young learners fully understand all about Earth, the resources that we use from it and how we can protect those natural resources.  Activities will be done in each class.  I will provide all handouts needed before each class begins.

Day 1- What does Earth's surface look like? + drawing activity
Day 2- Rocks & Soil + rocks/minerals sharing & drawing activity
Day 3- The changing land (erosion & weathering) + drawing activity 
Day 4- Earth's resources + sorting activity
Day 5- Using Earth's resources + sorting activity
Day 6- Saving Earth's resources + sorting activity + Review all that was learned about Earth's resources

Key Vocabulary:
continent, mineral, weathering, erosion, deposition, pollution, reuse, reduce, recycle, natural resource, conserve

Learning Goals
Students will be able to identify what Earth's surface looks like as well as understand how water, ice and wind can change the shape of rocks and land.  Students will also be able to identify Earth's resources, how they are used and how we can help protect those resources.

Parental Guidance
Some photos of pollution will be shared in class. These images will be age appropriate but some learners may be sensitive to these.

Pencil, markers and/or crayons, scissors and glue.  Rocks can be brought to our 2nd class but are not required.  Handouts provided by the teacher will need to be printed out by each learner before some class session begins (if this is not possible, please let me know ahead of time so that we can make other arrangements :)).

Teacher expertise and credentials
Nevada Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
I was a 1st grade teacher for many years.  I currently hold a BA in elementary education with a minor in history.  I love teaching all subjects but most of all, I love teaching young learners about the world around them.  I have a great love for science, history, nature and the great outdoors.  My parents were both educators and instilled in me at a young age the love for learning, teaching and appreciating nature.  I love sharing these same principles with others!   It is very important to me that young learners know all about Earth, its resources and how to help conserve those resources.
