Class Experience

US Grade Pre-Kindergarten - 1
Beginner Level
In this one time class, learners will listen to a fiction story called Huff and Puff on Groundhog Day by Jean Warren and Illustrated by Molly Piper.  In the non fiction portion of class, learners will research and discuss other animals that live underground like the groundhog.  Their words will be added to a chart labeled Groundhogs can/are/have. The learners will then create a step by step drawing of a groundhog together with the teacher, complete with non fiction labels.  If the learners feel comfortable, they will share their work with other students.  When the class is complete, the learners will have an all about groundhog project to hang up for all to admire!

Learning Goals

-Learners will use listening skills by focusing on groundhog facts.
-Learners will use research skills to gather information about groundhogs.
-Learners will use creative skills by drawing and coloring a groundhog.
-Learners will use writing skills to add non fiction labels to their groundhog. 
-Learners will use listening skills to follow directions.

Hi!  Welcome to my Outschool classroom. 

My name is Betty Nilssen.  💕

I have a BS in Elementary Education with a minor in Spanish from UW-Milwaukee.  I am a first grade teacher, but I have also taught second, third and fourth grade, full inclusive classrooms.  My teaching license certifies me to teach grades 1~6. My passion for teaching reading while incorporating phonics, phonemic awareness, rhyming, comprehension, fluency, vocabulary, science, social studies, math, drawing and writing helps children strengthen their academic skills while they gain academic confidence and a love of learning.  Teaching reading is my super power.  I can support your young learner. 

I have three adult daughters and two of them are teachers.  My mom was also an educator.

There are so many books to read, words and sentences to write, math equations to solve and fiction and non fiction pictures to draw and label. Let's get started!  

Enroll your Early Childhood Education student and your child will further develop an academic foundation and gain academic confidence with a love of learning. Your child will be a life long reader! 

Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or if you are looking for different times or dates for classes.  
I can't wait to work with you and your child and further a passion for learning!
