Class Experience As a first grade teacher with over 23 years of experience in the classroom, there is nothing more rewarding than helping my students learn and grow with confidence in academics. We will meet to learn as a virtual class or "team" and grow in knowledge together. Using first grade standards introduced and taught in the third quarter of the school year, students will engage in focused phonics skills lessons, high frequency word practice, guided reading activities and journal writing. Each 55-minute lesson will follow a structured plan and lessons will build and spiral back for review: 1. Welcome Song With Movement 2. Daily Warm Up Problems of First Grade Skills 3. High Frequency Word Practice (Dolch High Frequency Word List for First Grade) 4. Phonics Skills Lesson (digraphs, blends, long vowels, suffixes endings) 5. Guided Reading Activity 6. White Board Review and Practice to Assess Skills Taught 7. Journal Writing (Complete Sentences, Capitalization Rules, Punctuation Marks, Correct Grammar) *Journal Writing may be extended outside of class and be required to complete as homework) 8. Goodbye Song Phonics Focus Skills Each Week: Feb. 8/Week 1 s, l, r blends Feb 15/Week 2 digraphs Feb 22/Week 3 long a (a__e, ai, ay) Week 4 long e (e__e, ee, ea, e) Week 5 long i (i__e, ie, igh, y) Week 6 long o (o__o, oa, ow, o) Week 7 long u (u__e, ui, u) Week 8 prefixes and suffixes

Teacher expertise and credentials
California Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hello Parents and Students!
My name is Lori Costa and I have been an elementary school teacher for over 24 years. In addition, I have been teaching online for three years with private, small group, and large group classes. I specialize in teaching phonics, reading, writing, and art.
I have my Bachelor's Degree in Liberal Studies with an emphasis in Children and the Arts. I also have my Multiple Subject Credential with CLAD emphasis.
I have three amazing kids of my own, who range in age from 10 to 19. My husband and I love to travel with our kids and make fun memories together. Trips to the beach are my favorite!
I plan to teach a variety of lessons that incorporate music, movement, art, reading and writing to reach all types of learners.
My philosophy of teaching is to make a personal connection with students throughout each lesson and encourage them every step of the way, instilling a life long love of learning!Reviews
