In this 5 day read aloud segment students will work on their comprehension skills as they listen to the chapter book titled "Stone Fox" by John Gardiner Reynolds. Students will learn about topics such as summarizing, characters, theme, plot, and more! All students need is a notebook, pencils, and markers/crayons/or color pencils. The notebook will serve as a reading journal. In this reading journal students will be guided through different reading strategies from Jennifer Serravallo's, a New York Times Best-Selling Author, book. Topics Covered Include: Character, Setting, Plot, Theme, Questioning, Summarizing, and Inferencing. Structure of Class: Each Day students will log on and listen to two chapters read aloud from the book "Stone Fox." Once the read aloud is finished I will model a comprehension strategies underneath my mobile document camera. Students will complete the strategy in their personal reading journal. Students will share out on zoom their journal entry for the day. Teaching Style: Each class will be fun, engaging, and interactive. Students will gain a strategy or more a day that they will be able to use when they do their independent reading. Students will be able to get creative in their journal entries and share them with their peers each day. Required Experience: Students do not need any preexisting knowledge. This is a read aloud that would be good for upcoming first graders through upcoming fourth graders.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Kentucky Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hello!
I am Laura Smith also known as Teacher Laura! I have never felt like teaching was a job. Instead teaching has always felt like a passion to me! I love working with children of all ages! As I begin the 2022-2023 school year I will also be diving into my tenth year of teaching. I have had the opportunity to teach all subject areas in grades 3-5 during this time. My favorite subject to teach is English Language Arts. I love combining reading and writing in the content areas so that students can learn to read and write like historians and scientists. I am also currently involved in the Kentucky Reading Project where we are learning to incorporate Jennifer Serravallo's reading strategies in our reading instruction to help improve reading, writing, fluency, and more!
I currently hold a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education, a Masters Degree in Literacy Specialist, and my TESOL certificate for teaching ESL. Through these certificates and 9 years of teaching experience I have learned that students first have to know that you care before they care what you know. My favorite part of teaching has been building lasting relationships with students and seeing them succeed. I love making learning fun and interactive. Most of all I love the subject of reading because I love sharing literature with children that they can relate to and that can teach them life lessons.
Aside from teaching I enjoy being a mother to my five year old son Scheyer. We love to go on "adventures" as Scheyer calls them! He has helped me learn how to enjoy life more than I ever thought possible. When I do find time for myself I enjoy exercising and playing sports. Growing up playing basketball was my favorite sport. I played all through high school and college and have enjoyed sharing my love for the game with my students!Reviews
