🎯 I will teach reading skills and how to think while reading during my read aloud.
🎯 When I read aloud, I do it in an interactive format, even though it is recorded.
🎯 I am NOT just reading the book.
🎯 I am helping them process and become active readers!

🎯 Class Expectations:
Students should complete the work assigned and reach out to me if there are any questions. Students that are wanting to earn a grade for the course must upload their completed work by the end of the class. All work is self-checking or checked while watching a video. If, your child does not desire a grade, then their work does not need to be submitted.

🐶 My Classroom and Teaching Style:
My goal is to make learning as happy 🥳 and stress-free as possible! My classroom is fast-paced and interactive. It is a kind, caring, supportive, productive, silly, and just a little bit crazy kind of space! I want students to love class and enjoy showing up to learn with me. Students can only learn when they feel comfortable and safe! I provide that environment for my students, then watch as their learning soars! I have a personality- and I let that shine through on my self-paced course videos! I want the students to feel like they just had a live class with me. 😊Learning Goals
Enjoy the first two books of the Desmond Cole series, have exposure to plot structure, and foster a love of reading.
