Summer Special: Faster Pace!!! I am so excited to offer this class! I love Mythology and I love that it is still popping up in our culture! In this class, we will read the books in the Percy Jackson series. We will learn about the origins of Greek Myths and read some of the original stories that go along with the characters in Percy Jackson and make comparisons. No background knowledge is required! Homework will be independent reading of the Percy Jackson series. Our focus will be on The Lightning Thief and Sea of Monsters, but fast readers are welcome to read the other books and share what they find in them (or come back for Part 2)! The final project for this class will be for the students to choose a God/Goddess not from our readings and create a short story. Week 1: * Intro to Greek Mythology and our main characters *Genealogy * Creatures- I Have Who Has game * What is special about Greek Mythology? *Read The Lightning Thief * In class activities include recipes, create a character challenge (similar to reading cards) Week 2: * Continue reading The Lightning Theif * Group Activity— Design Challenge * Individual Activity-- STEM Challenge (material list provided during first class) * Review games Week 3: * Begin Sea of Monsters * Review the creatures & create new ones (project) * Begin group game project Week 4 & 5: * Finish Sea of Monsters * Finish group projects and play the games

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! My name is Kathy and I live in Southern California. I love working with students all around the World and of all different ages. I mainly teach classes that are Language Arts based (reading, writing, spelling, and grammar). I also teach about Historical figures, especially if I can tie them into Literature. I also love teaching about animals, and doing story time for the younger kids.
I have been teaching for over 15 years. I have taught in traditional school settings, charter schools, home schooled my own children, and taught online. I have a BA in English as well as a K-12 Teaching Credential. I am very passionate about helping people learn to love reading and writing. I also love to help people that need a little extra help with spelling and grammar. It makes me so proud and happy to have a student tell me how much they think they are improving or to get answers correct on something they missed before.
My approach to teaching is interactive and hands on. I want my students to learn while having fun. I ask a lot of comprehension questions, group work, pair work, and projects (depending on the class). I try to do as much of the work in class as possible so that kids can still be kids once they are done.
My background is in English but I love History and Science too (especially the experiments). It wouldn't be unusual in one of my classes to have to make something that just pops into my mind because it seems fun. I love animals, chocolate, and all things Disney!
