In this class for older students, we will learn about acrostics, which is a type of writing that can be used in different ways. The learners will have fun creating coded messages that they can teach and share with friends. The learners and I, as a team, will create a coded message. They are free to interact with me and one another. They then will fashion an acrostic of their own, and share with the class if they are comfortable doing so. Pretty much the only rule I have is that they use their manners and raise their hand if they have something to say. This will keep the class running smoothly. There is no required experience or knowledge needed.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi,
My name is Melanie Thomas, and I am very much looking forward to working with your child! As I think about the classes I want to teach, I am leaning toward creating classes about different types of poems, natural skin care for teenagers (this one will be so much fun!!), having a math multiplication fact class that will improve your child's math skills, as well as several other ideas that are brewing away inside my brain. Do you have any suggestions for me? Be sure and keep an eye out for my classes, and I'll bet you or your child will see a class they can't resist taking!
I am a Arkansas certified teacher. My professional background includes teaching elementary students in a brick and mortar building, tutoring several age levels as a teacher with Sylvan Learning Center and Club Z In-Home Tutoring, as well as being a much requested substitute teacher in elementary and middle school classrooms. I also have an English as a Second Language endorsement to my teaching certificate, and a Masters in Adult Education.
My desire is to impress upon students that everyone is smart, but they are smart in different ways. I believe in working with students so that they are comfortable. This will allow them to work hard to achieve their goals, reaching for the stars!
A fun fact about me.....I have been a background actor in four movies! That was so much fun!
