Class Experience

US Grade Kindergarten - 2

In this class, students will learn some interesting facts about plant eating and meat eating dinosaurs. We will talk about what fossils are, how they help us learn about the past, and the name of  the special scientist who study fossils.  Students will learn some fun and interesting facts about different kinds of dinosaurs including Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Brachiosaurus, and Tyrannosaurus Rex. We will then focus on one particular dinonsaur for that class and draw a picture of it. Students get to share their picture at the end of the class. I also have another dinosaur class that meets 5 times to discuss one dinosaur per class, in case your child would like to learn about all of the dinosaurs. As a Kindergarten teacher, I use to teach about dinosaurs and I know that children love learning about them. I hope to see your child in my class! 😊

Learning Goals

Students will learn that fossils have helped us learn about our history and dinosaurs are part of our past.

Teacher expertise and credentials

Alabama Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education

Master’s Degree in Education from Troy University

Hello! My name is Mrs. Kay and  I have been enjoying teaching online with Outschool since the Fall of 2021!! I have a Masters degree in  Elementary Education and a Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education. I have been a Kindergarten teacher for many years and the last couple of years teaching, I was also teaching ESL students online early in the mornings. I retired in 2021 from the public school system but wanted to continue to use my teaching skills. I was fortunate to find Out School and be able to continue teaching children in a less restrictive way. In the below video, I demonstrate how I would teach reading online to young children. 
As far as my teaching philosophy, I believe that all children can learn but they learn in a variety of ways. I like to address each type of learner by using a variety of teaching methods. For example using tactile/hands on  objects helps the kinesthetic learner and using lots of pictures to teach with helps the visual learner. Young children especially benefit from
using a variety of teaching methods. In my years of teaching, I have taught many children how to read but one of my greatest loves has been working with children in the early stages of the writing process. If you are interested in me helping your young learner with the early stages of writing, please check out my “Little Writers Workshop “ class where I teach young children how to use a picture that they draw to make a story. 
 A little bit about me:
 I was raised a farm/country girl and enjoy being around nature. My home that my husband built is surrounded by lots of woods and wildlife. The hobbies that I enjoy include cooking, baking, and gardening.  In the summer, I enjoy canning fresh vegetables from our garden and going on fun trips with my family. This year, I will be the Art teacher for the school that I recently retired at so I am looking forward to this new adventure. I also hope to see your child on Out School!
