Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 2

Journaling allows the writer to be mindful of the world around them.  It requires the writer to use all five senses to observe what is going on around them and to record important events in their lives.  Journaling can be a personal thing for the writer but can also be something that the writer may want to share with others so this class is designed to allow students to share their work when they want to but also recognizes that not all writing needs to be shared.  This ongoing class is designed so that students can sign up for weeks that they want to attend each week we will cover different journaling techniques, and write to different prompts.

Teacher expertise and credentials

Bachelor's Degree in Education from Arizona State University

Hello!  

My name is Jamie Nelsen, I am currently a reading coach and interventionist at an International School.  I have taught students from pre-k (age 4) to 5th grade full time in the classroom, as a homeroom teacher.   I am my 9th year of full time teaching, and I have also worked as a substitute teacher in Orlando Florida for 2 years.  The past 9 years I have been working in international schools around the world, I have experience with both the Common Core and the British National Curriculum.  

I love traveling the world and teaching internationally allows me to do this.  I work with students to develop their independence and ability to learn skills by thinking through problems instead of asking for help.  I believe that every child needs to be given the skills that they need to be successful, which include learning how to learn so that they can discover their own interests and learn more about it in a powerful, meaningful way, that will encourage lifelong learning! 

I recently finished my Master's degree in Educational Technology and I am passionate about technology integration into learning!
