US Grade Kindergarten - 3
In this eight week flexible schedule course, learners will explore autumn - through hands-on activities, group collaboration, nature scavenger hunts, and more. Materials will be posted on Monday each week and students are free to work through the material at their own pace. We will utilize the main OutSchool classroom page to facilitate discussions and expand on our learning. Learners are encouraged to share their findings, participate in discussion, and share pictures of projects here. Video lessons utilize EdPuzzle to allow for learner interaction throughout the lesson. Below are the descriptions of the themes/topics covered in each week. By the end of the course, your learner will have a complete autumn nature study notebook with a section for each topic. Each week includes a coloring sheet (to use as cover page for each section in final notebook), a video lesson with printable activity sheet to follow along/interact with the lesson, STEAM activity printable instructions and video, craft project printable PDF instructions with printable materials (when applicable), and printable nature scavenger hunt challenges related to the theme each week. * Supplies are listed below. In the classroom, a printable PDF is posted with a master supply list. * Throughout each week students have an opportunity to develop their problem solving, early literacy, math, and fine motor skills.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Georgia Teaching Certificate in Special Education
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Towson University
Hi! My name is Rhea and I'm so happy you're here. 🙂
In 2017, I graduated with honors from Towson University - earning my Bachelor's in Elementary and Special Education. After graduation, I began my career in special education and went on to become an Intervention Coordinator. This gave me the opportunity to apply my extensive experience identifying and utilizing individual interventions on a school-wide level.
I am now the proud owner of an educational advocacy and consulting agency, through which I work to bridge the gap between educators and families. Coupled with my work on Outschool, I am able to provide a cohesive experience for families - providing both students and parents with the resources they need to thrive. If you'd like to learn more about services for parents, you can visit www.myeducationworks.org to learn more.
My favorite thing about teaching is seeing the potential in students - sometimes long before they see it in themselves. I firmly believe in an approach to education that is individualized, empathetic, encouraging, and always student-centered.
In every class, students are encouraged to use their inquisitive nature and their creativity to help them learn through self-discovery - creating a much deeper and impactful learning experience. I believe in student-led learning and creating experiences for students rather than talking "at them."
When I'm not teaching, I can often be found exploring nature with my own two little boys, spending time with my pets, or snuggled up with a good book.
Thank you so much for stopping by my profile and exploring the course offerings. I am so honored that you have considered me as your child's teacher. I look forward to meeting your learner!Reviews
