Welcome to Essential Elementary Grammar! In this class, students will learn basic language skills: sentence structure, mechanics, and parts of speech. This class is designed around 2nd grade common core literacy standards but is suitable for grades 1-3 or any older students needing a refresher on parts of speech and sentence mechanics. Each week, we will cover the topic listed. Students can drop in any week, as skills will be topics that can stand alone. Students will listen to the teacher teach the skill.

My Background:
I obtained a Bachelor of Science in 2012 from Barton College in North Carolina. I am a licensed teacher in the areas of Elementary Education K-5, Middle Grades Mathematics 6-9, and Special Education K-12. I also hold a TESOL (Teaching English to speakers of other languages) certificate. I have 7 years of public school teaching experience. Currently, I am a Work-At-Home mom of two kids. I have been teaching online for the past 3 years, so I understand the importance of making students feel welcome and included in this setting.
My Philosophy:
I believe all children are capable of being successful, regardless of their backgrounds. I believe that every child has different strengths and can use their strengths to overcome their weaker areas. I also think that the more fun a child has, the more they will want to learn.
Fun Facts About Me:
-I have a husband, a daughter, and a son. Both of my children enjoy taking classes on Outschool.
-I have 3 dogs and 1 cat.
