We will go on a ROARING adventure together by diving deep into the story, How To Catch a Dinosaur! Students will be asked to think deeply about the text using various reading strategies. Students will be asked to predict, make inferences, retell, and make text to self connections throughout the animated reading of this epic story. Together we will play a dinosaur themed comprehension game and then start on our art together. The art will be done LIVE so that I can guide your students in the best possible way. For younger learners or those that may prefer to skip out on the drawing, I will include a copy of the dinosaur in case they would prefer to color it instead. Students will only need a pencil, paper, and whatever medium they chose to color it in with.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello wonderful guardian!
I am currently a K-2 English Language Arts teacher at a local private school in Texas. I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Elementary Education and a state of Texas teacher certificate. With over 11 years of classroom teacher experience, 5 years of home educating experience, and the desire to provide all students with an excellent education, I am confident in my ability to meet the needs of your child and get him/her excited about learning!
My teaching career has been geared toward the empowerment of elementary school children. I have a strong passion to educate young minds and help them blossom into well rounded, responsible, and successful individuals. Throughout the course of my career, I have had wonderful opportunities to teach diverse groups of students, including those with disabilities, those at grade level, those who are gifted/exceptional, and students from a range of socio-economic conditions. As a result, I have become proficient at designing creative and stimulating lesson plans, which accommodate multiple intelligences, brings a hands-on learning approach to learning, and keeps students interested and focused. I've been known to turn my classroom into a jungle, a ninja training center, secret agent head quarters, or even into Mario World in order to create meaningful and engaging lessons that children will never forget. Doing that digitally requires a little creativity, but the kids still thoroughly enjoy themselves in such an experience.
I have two kids who are the LOVE of my life and a wonderful husband that I adore. We live out on a farm in the middle of no-where with goats and chickens and lots of critters. I wouldn't have it any other way! Reviews
