This class will meet four times to read some of my favorite goodnight stories. We will come to class ready for bed with our favorite cuddle and P. J.'s on. Each class will offer a calm activity and then we will read the stories. The 4 following stories will be covered. One per class. Goodnight Moon will be our focus bedtime story and we will play a rhyme game. How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight will be our focus story, with an opening activity of learning a Dinosaur finger play. The Goodnight Train will be our focus story, beginning with a I'm going on a train ride activity If Animals Kissed Goodnight will be our focus story with an opening activity of can you guess my animal. I hope to see you in this calm read aloud experience where each class will end or begin with a reflective activity.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello, I’m Ms. Melinda and I can hardly wait to meet you! For the last 30 years I have put my heart and soul into being a teacher and I would absolutely love to have you in my class. Keep an eye open for my courses in these subjects: Early Phonics, Book Clubs, Circle Time Learning, Math with the calendar, reading comprehension, learning with math games and writing club. I received my Bachelor of Education degree in 1987 from the University of Memphis, with a major Early Childhood Education. Later I received my Masters degree in curriculum and instruction. I have taught literally thousands of K-3 students. I teach in a public school in my hometown in Tennessee. I have raised five wonderful children of my own. They are teachers, preachers and lawyers. We are waiting on the youngest to finish med school. I also have six grandkids with one more one the way. I specialize in early childhood math and reading but also teach ESL classes. I have trained fellow teachers on the best practices of teaching writing to young learners. I am high energy and animated and this holds young learners attention. I believe every child is valuable, intelligent, creative, and special. My goal is for each one of my students to experience success and feel encouraged to continue his or her unique learning journey. My favorite activities are reading, traveling and spending time with my family. I hope to see you soon in my classroom where all are welcome and learning is fun.
