Class Experience

In this one-time class, students will learn amazing facts about giraffes. They will also create a unique giraffe of their own. During class, students will view a slide presentation, short video clips, and play a review game.  Throughout the lesson, students will take part in a laughter challenge as they hear different giraffe jokes. Students will also observe a STEM challenge that demonstrates capillary action by using paint and a napkin to make giraffe skin art. At the end of class, your child will have a giraffe masterpiece and will be able to tell others interesting facts they have learned about giraffes.  I look forward to teaching, creating, and laughing with your child as they learn all about Africa's Gentle Giants.

Hello parents and guardians, my name is Gayla Tidwell.  Welcome to my classroom.  I look forward to meeting your child soon. In my classroom, your child will explore various topics and have a lot of fun. Each class will include grammar, math, geography, history, and science to maximize the educational experience for your child. I enjoy planning lessons that incorporate different subject areas.  I believe this allows each course to be full of variety and knowledge about the subject matter. I bring a lot of energy to my classroom, which results in exciting and engaging lessons.  I also strive to build a strong rapport with my students ensuring they are comfortable and eager to participate.  I am confident your child will have an enjoyable learning experience in my classroom. 

I have 18 years of teaching experience. Over those 18 years, I have taught 4th and 5th-grade language arts, preschool, and ESL (English as a Second Language) online.  I have also homeschooled my four children for the past four years. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education P-4, an additional license 4-8 in English, and a Master’s degree in Teacher Leadership. 

I am married and have four children. I enjoy creating things, swimming, traveling, and spending time with my family. Teaching is one of my favorite things to do.  I always enjoy creating lessons that are fun and engaging. I look forward to teaching your child in my classroom soon.
