In this class, our goal is to encourage kids to read and try new things. We will not be analyzing books or reading aloud. Each week will have a theme for a type of book to read (see list below). The instructor will post a list of suggested books that fit the topic for the next week directly after class (or message it to new students). Students will choose a book to read during the week, using the weekly theme as their guide, and should be ready to share about what they read. Questions will be asked about: The book they read (physical or digital copy) How does it fit the weekly theme? Did they like the book? Why or why not? Is it a book they will read again? Can they relate to the main character? And more Weekly Themes 2023: Dec 5: Cover you don’t like Dec 12: Red cover Dec 19: Gemstones or jewels in it 2024 Schedule All classes scheduled for the week beginning with the Sunday date listed will use the following topics.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Brigham Young Univeristy - Idaho
Hello! I'm Aubrey and I am mom to 9 crazy children ages one through fourteen. We live on a homestead in Idaho where we raise rabbits, chickens, turkeys, ducks, quail, goats, and sheep.
I have a degree in Math Education and one in Family History but I love to teach a number of subjects. I absolutely love meeting new students! My favorite thing about teaching is helping my students to learn to use the tools that I am giving them in their daily life. Join my classes to learn about math, English, history and many more homestead themed topics to help you complete daily tasks and possibly find a new hobby in the process.
I'm excited to meet you!Reviews
