Your child will explore the world of limericks. They will learn some history behind the limerick poem and the style in which they are written. They will get the chance to write and share a limerick they personally created. The class will also use teamwork skills to create a limerick together. My classes are easy going with good manners expected. I begin the class by introducing myself and then let the learners share one fun thing they did that day. There will be interaction and discussion. No prior knowledge or experience is needed.
Learning Goals
Students will learn about limericks, which is a type of Irish poem.

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!
