Class Experience

In this one time class, students will learn and practice writing the components of a paragraph.   We will discuss the topic sentence, supporting sentences and concluding sentence.  Students will use graphic organizers to plan their paragraph and will work to produce a five sentence paragraph.  I will model and explain the parts of a paragraph and students will be encouraged to choose a topic they are interested in and have prior knowledge about to write their own complete paragraph.  The class will focus on staying focused on the chosen topic, using transition words to help the flow of writing, and ensuring the topic and concluding sentences are properly related and structured.

Successful paragraph writing can be achieved by any student!  Allowing students to chose their writing topic can help them become engaged and confident.  The structure and organization used in this course can be applied to other paragraphs so students can continue to write on their own.

Teacher expertise and credentials

Hello!
I have been an elementary educator for 17 years.  I received my Bachelor of Science in Education from Central Michigan University with an emphasis in Reading and Science.  I also worked as a toddler and preschool teacher in Michigan for several years before relocating to North Carolina.  I have experience in all elementary grades, but the majority of my teaching has been in grades 2, 3, and 4.  

I am so excited to teach on Outschool!  My favorite part of teaching is helping students get excited about learning!  Finding the correct content and delivery to help students become enthusiastic learners is my specialty!  I teach a variety of classes including preschool story hours, elementary book clubs and specific math concepts such as multiplication and fractions.  I love discussing books with students and guiding them to make connections, observations and learn lessons from their reading.

I am a mother to two daughters - ages five and eight.  We love using creativity to learn about the world around us through STEM projects and self-guided learning.  Our family finds teachable moments every day and enjoys learning about what we love!  We spends lots of time outdoors and completing family read alouds.

Thanks so much for visiting my profile page!  I can't wait to see you in class!
