Are you looking for a way to get your child writing? Does your child also enjoy making crafts? If so, this is the perfect class! Our class will focus on snowman and snow - a perfect class for January! Class will start with an introduction of names and a question of the day. We will then talk about snow and what snowflakes are made of and look like. We will examine some pictures of snowflakes and discuss what we notice about them. We will also talk about what makes snow melt. Then we will move into the craft portion of our class - making a melted snowman. Once our crafts are finished, we will work on finishing the following sentence: "Oh no! My snowman melted because....". Each child will be able to choose their own reason and write it on the provided handwriting lines. I will provide support for stretching out words and sounds as well as letter formation as needed. I will also create my own answer to the question and write it out for learners to see. At the end of class, students will take turns being able to share their melted snowman and sentence with the class. I do my best to make sure class ends on time. If any additional time remains, students will participate in some easy, quick winter drawings. If your student is not finished at the end of class, he/she may choose to finish independently after class.
Learning Goals
Students will learn scientific information about snow and snowflakes. Students will use direction following skills while making their melted snowman. Students will demonstrate proper use of craft materials: paint, construction paper, scissors, glue, pencil. Students will demonstrate writing skills while finishing their snowman sentence and communication skills while showing their finished snowman product to classmates.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Lauren and I am excited to be teaching here on Outschool! I am looking forward to teaching early childhood development classes - preschool math, literacy, social skills and more! I have worked with children/students of all ages. My primary focus is with young children as I have a bachelors degree in elementary education (prek - 4th) which I obtained through Grand Canyon University. I have spent the last 10 years working in an early childhood development center, primarily working with children ages 2-4. During these last 10 years I have developed and implemented curriculum across many content areas. Aside from teaching, I am a color guard instructor at both the middle and high school levels.
I think learning is all about having fun, especially with the younger children! My experience of running an early childhood classroom will aide me in providing fun and engaging lessons here on Outschool as well!
When I am not coaching or teaching, I am busy being a wife and a mom! My husband and I have a seven year old son who is currently in second grade and an infant daughter. My older son is very involved in sports, which means I am too! I also enjoy reading, journaling, and watching tv.
I look forward to meeting and working with many young children on this journey!Reviews
