Our course will follow the same basic design every day. 1. In this course we will focus on: ----Building phonemic awareness skills- specifically blending and segmenting sounds in words. ----Phonics- matching letters to letter sounds. ----Decoding- Blending letters together to read Closed Syllable Words" or "CVC" words. ***Closed syllable words are words that have a short vowel sound because the vowel is followed by a consonant- Ex. cat, dip, bug, let, dog ----Writing or word building of CVC words. ----Reading simple sentences that include short a, CVC words, and sight words. STUDENTS SHOULD HAVE A BASIC LETTER/SOUND CORRESPONDENCE to take this course. IF they are able to identify most letters and the sounds they make they will do fine. 2. Every day there will be a class reward- Something the students earn to keep them engaged and excited to participate. 3. There are a few additional activities that we may participate in if time allows: movement activities, songs, short videos, read alouds sight word activities or quick word games. ----This age group can have a difficult time sitting for an extended period of time, I will use these activities when I feel they need a break, need to release some energy or are really focused and doing a great job completing their work! REWARD! REWARD! REWARD!

Supply List
-A document will be provided, which needs to be printed, for the 5 day course: ------I would suggest getting 5 sheet protectors. Place the pages in the sheets protectors back to back (each day is two pages so it should be double sided in the sheet protector). -Dry Erase Marker and Eraser -(optional)- Other writing tools- pencil, magna doodle, whatever your child feels more comfortable writing with. They can write directly on the document (in the sheet protector) or they can do the writing portion using another writing tool.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello Families and Students!
Thank you for reading my profile and getting to know a little bit about me and my classroom!
Educational Experience
I attended Point Park University for my BA in Theater Arts, Kutztown University for my Early Childhood and Elementary Certifications and East Stroudsburg University for my MA in Reading and Reading Specialist Certification. In recent years, I have had extensive training in the LETRS framework, which focuses on explicit instruction and early literacy skill fundamentals, which you will see if you join one of my classes.
Teaching Experience
I have been a public school teacher, in Pennsylvania, for 13 years and have taught Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten and First Grade! I also teach Musical Theater and Creative Movement at my sister's dance studio, Dance Fusion Performing Arts studio, in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Another way I get to use my arts background is by running an after school drama club at the elementary school I teach at. Though I am new to Outschool, I am not new to teaching online or using the Zoom platform. I have been providing online english language instruction to students in China, for over two years and also recently had to quickly adapt to providing instruction through Zoom, to my class of 18 kindergarteners, during the pandemic.
What will my classes look like?
Some of my classes will focus on Phonemic Awareness (rhyming, clapping syllables in words, hearing and manipulating individual sounds in words- beginning/ middle/ end), Phonics, and Sight Words. There will also be circle time and movement classes offered for preschoolers. That being said, I would love to design and offer additional classes if you have any specific needs or requests.
A little more about me...
I am married for 7 years to my fabulous husband and have two young girls 2 and 6 who keep us on our toes! We recently welcomed a new puppy to our family, Benny, and our goofy little guy has definitely completed our family. I love spending time with family, friends and neighbors at home, working on projects around our house, painting, photography and designing digital photo albums and doing family outings to local amusement parks, zoos, food trucks and festivals.
Why me?!?!
As a fellow parent of young children I understand the struggles that families typically face working, caring for and meeting the needs of everyone in the family. Currently with Online Learning being the main source of schooling and instruction, I also understand these new challenges families are dealing with, being their child's "home school" teacher. ;) This is why I am here to help you! I can provide your children with quality educational experiences while also coming to you safely, from my home to your home, via Zoom and the Outschool platform.
Please let me know how I can best serve you and don't hesitate to reach out. I hope to see you and your kiddo in the classroom very soon!
Have a happy day!
