Class Experience

***This course is for kids who already know how to use Scratch Jr.  They should be able to pick a character, a background and be able to use the blocks to make the characters have actions.

Coding allows learners to practice social emotional skills as well as coding concepts.  Each week, students will be given a task that includes one social emotional goal and one coding goal. 
 
Each class will be structured the same way:

10 minutes - introduction of kids/Boomer, social emotional skill, coding concept and explanation of the task to be completed using a 
       google slides presentation. 
20 minutes - work time- students will work on their own device on Scratch Jr. to complete the assigned task. 
       Tasks will include coding concepts such as sequencing, conditionals, events, loops, sounds, images, controls, and editors.
       Task will also include social emotional skills such as mindfulness, resilience, emotion management, feelings, self-esteem, 
       friendship, collaboration, communication, balance, empathy, problem solving, and relationships.
15 minutes -  share creation

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Michigan Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Master's Degree in Education from Oakland University
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Western Michigan University
I have been teaching on Outschool since April of 2020 and am an elementary school educator who knows how to create hands on activities which empower thriving children of all ages.  

I specialize in providing a vast variety of hands on activities that promote the value of social and emotional intelligence as well as the importance of showing children their potential.  There is not always a right answer in learning, children thrive in all different ways and I find great joy in helping them discover their gifts and talents.

Over the course of 25 years in the classroom, I have taught 1st grade, kindergarten through 3rd grade media literacy classes, and kindergarten through 5th grade computer application classes.  I have also tutored kindergarten through 5th grade students in all subject areas and am TESOL certified.  I am an advocate for children and believe in helping them to reach their potential, while understanding all of our minds think differently.  Being able to discover how each person finds success is such a gift. 

I am a proud owner of Boomer, my Labrador Retriever.  He loves to be by me all the time and wants to be part of my teaching.  Pets bring such joy and unconditional love, that it just seems natural to involve him in my classes. He has a lot to teach and learn!
