In class observations of the students will help the teacher to understand areas of weakness and strength. It will also help to direct the class coverage of each topic and whether to increase learning or slow down the steps!Class Experience
Each week we will focus on one concept or skill from fifth grade skill sets. Students will be given direct instruction of the concept of focus. They will then be given example problems to work on in whole group, following the teacher’s example and directions. This time will allow for open discussion and questions to be asked in order to gain a deeper understanding. Finally, students will be given their own problem(s) to work on during class time. After some time to complete independently, the students will all take part in finding the answers together!

Teacher expertise and credentials

I am a well rounded teacher with experience in a variety of subject areas, curriculum, age levels and abilities. I love learning and I love to make learning fun for others. I have a fun sense of humor with a small degree of sarcasm that enables my students to feel comfortable and open to accepting challenges.
I have taught in classrooms full of students. I have worked with students of special needs. I have tutored one on one with a variety of topics and ages. I have worked online with foreign students. I have participated in adult education/training (helping adults to be teachers). I am continuously homeschooling my own five children.
I love to laugh and to hear others laughing. My teaching style is to break ideas down into small chunks to make it so all learners can navigate at their own pace and using their own understanding. I always aim to get my students laughing too while accomplishing this. The more we laugh, the more we love what we are doing and I want my students to love learning!
