Each week in this class we will read 1 book from the "I Survived" book series and meet to discuss. Each student will have a "job" for our discussion about the book in class. The jobs include asking questions, summarizing the book, finding challenging words, and drawing a picture of a scene from the book. The description for each of these jobs is listed in the classroom. At the end of each class we will begin reading the book for the following week's class. This class is meant to inspire and encourage kids to read. The I Survived book series are fun books written about historical events throughout time. In each book, there is a kid main character who turns out to be a hero in the midst of a chaotic event. Please read these books BEFORE the class as we will be discussing the book in class. All books are written by Lauren Tarshis. Week 1 (Oct 26) First class! No prereading. Please bring the book for next week. Class jobs will be explained and we will begin reading next week's book.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello,
My name is Amy Sneath and I am the creator of Moxie Learning. Our company of teachers aim to provide a world class education without the limits of physical location. We form true classroom communities that rival those of traditional school. Friendships and true connection alongside academic excellence are regular occurrences at Moxie Learning.
When I was in school, I fell victim to math phobia and believed I was "bad" at math. Now I pride myself on meeting students where they are at and building their confidence to see they can learn any concept. I have experience in traditional 3rd and 4th grade classrooms teaching math and have seen first hand the difference in student achievement when they build confidence in themselves. This creates a life long love of learning which is even more valuable than the specific skills they will learn in my classroom.
Our team of teachers have several years of online educational experience in various grade levels and subjects. Both of our teachers graduated college with honors and are life long learners themselves. We are excited to share our love of learning with your children!Reviews
