Other Details
Supply List
Students should have a notebook which is brought to each class. They may also choose to use a whiteboard and marker, however, they will not have a record of the things they did in class so this is a decision for each family to make. They should always come prepared with a sharpened pencil and eraser (or writing utensil). Additional supplies will be discussed or suggested for classes where hands-on exploration may be appropriate (such as rulers, measuring cups, hundred chart, etc). Any papers needed for class will be provided before hand.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher will refer to "Complete Curriculum" and worldbook dot com in order to guide the year's content.

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!
