Calling all Dog Man fans! Let's get together and read about Dog Man, write about Dog Man, and draw Dog Man characters! In this class, we will talk about our favorite parts of the story. Learners are welcome to bring their Dog Man book, characters, and drawing to share with other learners. Learners do not need the books to attend this class. We will begin class with share outs about Dog Man favorites, such as characters or problems in the story! After that, I will do an engaging read aloud with dramatic voices, and lead a discussion. Learners will be encouraged to ask and answer questions. This will strengthen their reading comprehension. At the end of the class, we will try out drawing a Dog Man character with step by step directions and brainstorming ideas for our own Dog Man graphic novel! Learners are welcome to complete Dog Man comics after class if time does not allow us to complete them in class.

Hello! I am Kristen Galloway. I am a curious life long learner, and I want to share my love of learning with others! I am passionate about making learning fun, engaging, and relevant. I want to meet each child where they are developmentally and be a part of their journey of discovery. With a background in general education, I love to teach lessons that incorporate reading, writing, math, science, social studies. Learners should feel comfortable and welcome in the classroom. I think it is important to make learning a personal experience for each learner. I encourage each student to share their thinking. I work create a space where learners feel comfortable to learn. In order for every child to flourish they need to be seen, heard, and loved.
I believe in building relationships with my students and making learning engaging and connected to their lives. I use a multi-sensory approach to learning. I incorporate multiple domains throughout my lessons. I love to have fun in the classroom through conversations, games, and hands-on learning.
I have a Bachelor's of Science and a Master of Arts in Education. I have my TEFL and TESOL certifications. For the past 14 years, I have taught every grade from PreK-4th grade, sponsored a 3rd-5th grade STREAM club and a K-5 book club. I have also taught English online since 2019.
I have a 21 year old daughter, a 7 year old son, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and an axolotl. In my spare time, I love to read, play card and board games, hike, and watch movies. We love to travel and explore, and enjoy the journey as much as the destination!Reviews
