Class Experience

In this ongoing series, students will complete a paragraph each week.  This will be based on stylistic writing techniques.  In a collaborative effort, learners will be guided into using a keyword summary to create a new paragraph.  

*Please note that students do NOT need to have prior knowledge of using keyword summaries.

Students will learn all the mechanics for creating a paragraph including: 
• keyword note-taking
• paraphrasing
• topic sentences
• supporting details
• closing statements

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been an educator for nearly 23 years. My teaching experience has been in many different learning environments such as preschool, the classroom, and one-on-one.  
I am certified as an Early Childhood Educator and Orton-Gillingham Therapeutic Tutor.  
I am a homeschool mom for the past 12 years to my three (now teenage) children. I have an extensive background in working with students of all levels, specifically children with learning disabilities.  My 14-year-old daughter has dyslexia, so I bring a broad perspective not only as a teacher but as a parent.  
My passion is to work with all students and help facilitate them in their learning.
