In this One-Time Class, students will learn about Braille, what cells are, and how to coordinate the Braille alphabet using cells - for this Class, students will need play-doh (or large pom-poms) and an egg carton cut down to just 6 spaces (situated as 3 down, 2 across). A day before Class, I will provide an example as well as a Braille PDF to print out for Class. This will be posted directly in the Classroom itself a day before Class so you have time to print it out. **If your child loves all-things-CODES - this will definitely meet that interest! We essentially crack the code of Braille** Class will be locked 10 min from start to avoid disruption and for student and teacher overall enjoyment. Please check the Supply List below: play-doh (or large pom-poms) an egg carton cut down to just 6 spaces (situated as 3 down, 2 across - I will provide an example in the Classroom) a Braille PDF will be posted directly in the Classroom itself a day before Class so you have time to print it out

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello. I began my teaching career as a Highschool Student in 1987 as a State Certified Preschool Teacher. I attended USF (University of South Florida) in Tampa, FL and earned my Bachelor's Degree, cum laude, in Elementary Ed grades 1-6. I added two additional Certifications: English grades 6-12 and PreK-Primary (age 3 to grade 3). I am currently waiting for my Autism Endorsement to process through the DoE.
**I am very proud to say Outschool informed me Fall 2019 that I was the first to be approved for an Autism Social Club - I am honored to be a part of your child’s life**
I currently teach 1st grade in a small private school. Previously, I was a Lead VPK (Voluntary PreK) Teacher and have taught various grade levels in Preschools, Public and Private Schools from age 2 years old on up into high school with our own boys in our Home School Program. I've earned "Highly Effective" in all areas and love teaching.
I Homeschooled for 22 years - and even taught at public school, then VPK at a private school as I continued our Home School. Over the years, I have volunteered for our state-wide Homeschool Association and sat on our County School Board Homeschool Portfolio Review Committee. I pride myself on searching for ways to accommodate and adjust as needed to learner styles. I enjoy assisting families in their education decisions. I am special needs sensitive in the areas of ASD, TS, ADHD, and Gifted. Not only have I taught those with these diverse challenges in my classroom settings, but I am also parenting my own children who have them as well. Our Family is walking through a new Season with the passing of our Precious young son (Jan 2021).
Interesting facts about our Family: we have three SPCA rescued cats and enjoy playing Tennis and watching movies in our backyard home theatre :)
