Beginner Level
This is a great opportunity to support your learner that has been introduced to adjectives but would benefit from more practice with them. I welcome questions and concerns, especially if you feel your learner might need some additional support. This class is meant to have a small group meeting discussing the meaning of adjectives and brainstorming as a group different adjectives. Once the brainstorm is complete, the group will work together to write a simple sentence. The learners will then be given some time to work independently writing their own simple sentence. The group will reconvene to discuss their sentences and identify their adjectives. If there is time, we will repeat the process with the learners having an increased opportunity to create their own bank of adjectives and additional sentence practice. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.1.1.f Use frequently occurring adjectives. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.1.2.b Use end punctuation for sentences.
Learning Goals
Students will list adjectives and later identify adjectives used in a sentence.Students will write simple students based on an example created by the group.
Other Details

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi there!
In the classroom, I taught first through fourth grades. My final year, I team taught and focused primarily on English Language Arts and Social Studies while my partner took on Math and Science. I enjoyed this set-up because I was able to dig deeper into my passion for reading and writing. My Masters Thesis was on Reading Engagement and I always try to instill a love for reading in my classroom. I also got to reach more children that year since we were sharing our classes.I ended up leaving the classroom to work in a non-profit, where I still got to work with kids of all ages (pre-school through high school), but also their parents, teachers, and community members.
A few years ago, my husband, son, and I moved to my husband's native country, Canada. Now that our son is in high school, I feel it is a good time to return to my teaching roots. I love the idea of teaching online rather than in the classroom because I can meet and work with kids from all over!
Moving to Quebec from California was a bit of a shock. I had to learn how to shovel snow and walk down an icy driveway. We share our home with a 12 year old husky mix, a one year old lab mix, and a box turtle of an undetermined age (but she's at least 32 years old, since that's how long I have had her). I love to travel and explore new places. When I can't travel, I try to play tourist at home and enjoy visiting new to me places in our area. In the Fall and early Summer, I enjoy hiking with the dogs and the occasional bike ride. In the Winter, I try to ski at least once and will take the dogs snow-shoeing.
If you see a class that interests you but that doesn't fit with your schedule, please don't hesitate to reach out! I can have some flexibility with scheduling when made aware of timing preferences.Reviews
