Beginner Level
In this four time Studies class, the focus will be on economics as it relates to the holidays. In the first week, the students will learn that NEEDS are things they cannot live without and they must have them to stay alive. A WANT is something they would like to have but don't necessarily need them to survive. The following week, the students will learn about goods and services. A GOOD is something that has been made or grown. A SERVICE is a job someone does to help people. The next week's focus will be on producers and consumers. A CONSUMER is someone who buys goods or services. A PRODUCER is someone who makes or grows goods. In the final week, the students will make a plan and set a goal to start saving their money. We will also identify and label US coins. The students will discuss and create projects, interact with other students and have fun learning all about money as it relates to the holidays.

Hi! Welcome to my Outschool classroom.
My name is Betty Nilssen. 💕
I have a BS in Elementary Education with a minor in Spanish from UW-Milwaukee. I am a first grade teacher, but I have also taught second, third and fourth grade, full inclusive classrooms. My passion for teaching reading while incorporating phonics, phonemic awareness, rhyming, comprehension, fluency, vocabulary, science, social studies, math, drawing and writing helps children strengthen their academic skills while they gain academic confidence and a love of learning. Teaching reading is my super power.
However, I always incorporate math, writing, drawing, social studies and science into all of my lessons, as well.
I have three adult daughters and two of them are teachers. My mom was also an educator.
There are so many books to read, words and sentences to write, math equations to solve and fiction and non fiction pictures to draw. Let's get started!
Enroll your Early Childhood Education student and your child will further develop an academic foundation and gain academic confidence with a love of learning. Your child will be a life time reader!
Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or if you are looking for different times or dates for classes.
I can't wait to work with you and your child and further a passion for learning!
