In this super fun on-going class learners will focus on writing complete and vivid sentences using video games as writing prompts. Through PowerPoint slides, learners will be encouraged to use different parts of speech and figurative langugae in their writing. This class will allow learners to use thier imagination and creativity to write complete and thoughtful sentences. As an English teacher, I find humor and a relaxed environment to be really important while encouraging students to feel confident in their writing. Writing can be tough, but using video games that are familiar to the students allows them to relax and have fun while writing. Here is a breakdown of the first few weeks of classes: Week of 1/15/2024 Nouns and verbs Week of 1/22/2024 Adjectives and Adverbs Week of 1/29/2024 Prepositions Week of 2/5/2024 Simile and Metaphor Week of 2/12/2024 Alliteration and assonance Week of 2/19/2024 Hyperbole and Idioms Each week we will use a different part of speech or figurative language. I will also review different topics, but learners are able to pop in and out of weekly classes. There are no prerequisites and if a student does not know something, it opens an awesome opportunity for learning. I am very laid back and enjoy laughing and having fun while learning. This class is very relaxed and fun.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Tennessee Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hello! Welcome to Outschool, I am so happy you are here. Let me tell you a little bit about myself.
I am a certified teacher currently teaching Reading Intervention. I have over 20 years teaching and tutoring in the public and private school system. I also homeschooled two of our three children. Most of my teaching experience is in middle school English and Math. Teaching is such a beautiful gift for me. I enjoy helping others reach their full potential and watching them grow as they learn. Learning is an amazing adventure and it is one I take daily. I always try to learn new things to challenge myself.
Aside from teaching, I love to read and garden. I stay very busy as the mom of three young adults ages 20, 19, and 16. I also have two very precious dogs. My husband is also a teacher so our evening conversations are typically about school!
My personality and teaching style has always been very laid back and fun. I believe in laughing while learning! Confidence is key when we learn new things or when we are learning difficult things. I practice being a teacher who encourages, nurtures, and builds confidence. Teaching is a heartfelt calling that I do not take lightly. I truly enjoy working with learners of all ages in all subjects.
I hope to see your learner in one of my classes. We will have a blast! Thank you again for being here. Enjoy Outschool, it is a great place to be.Reviews
