Beginner Level
🎃🎃🦇🦇🕷🕷🍎🍏
In this four time science class, the students will focus on one fall science/nature topic in each class. The four week topics are:  bats, apples, spiders,  pumpkins. The students will listen to fiction and non fiction books during the "research" part of the class. The students will learn and discuss facts and life cycles.  They will practice following directions to create step by step drawings. They will share their work with their classmates, if they feel comfortable doing so.  The students will then add labels/words to their drawings and life cycles.  The finished projects will be science research projects that are All About Fall. 
The lessons do not build on each other, so feel free to enroll at any time.
Week 1:  Bats
Week 2:  Pumpkins
Week 3:  Spiders
Week 4:  Apples

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 teaching license certifies me to teach grades 1~6. 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.  I can support your young learner. 

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 and label. 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 long 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!
