This class is taught in English.
I am a certified elementary teacher with years of experience in preschool and second grade. I have also taught ESL for 3 years on-line, and hold an MA in Teaching from Dominican University. I am trained in the Orton-Gillingham approach through IMSE (30-hour morphology plus course) and the Reed Charitable Foundation (30-hour classroom educator course).
Any print-outs (when appropriate) will be supplied the week before class. Other supplies include paper, pencil, white boards.
In investigations, I will share my screen while using Etymonline, an online etymology dictionary. Learners will not be asked to access this website on their own during class. Parents may wish to assist their learners with etymological investigation using etymonline at other times. Occasionally, I may show videos from Arika Okrent, the author of "Highly Irregular: Why Tough, Through, and Dough Don't Rhyme and Other Oddities of the English Language."
