Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 6

This group is dedicated to reading Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix Unit is a Common Core Standard-aligned novel study to be used with Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix by J.K. Rowling. This unit is perfectly designed to help your students enjoy reading this second excerpt from the Harry Potter series. It is required that your student have a copy of the book to read on their own. The expectation of the students in this class is to be fully engaged in class during class time as well as being fully engaged in the activities, and projects when assigned to the student to do outside of class. 

This is the weekly breakdown of the course:
1st class, we will introduce ourselves, and classroom expectations, we will be sorted into our Hogwarts Houses and discuss/review the first four books in the Harry Potter series, as a review/preview.
2nd class, students will be discussing the chapters that were to be read for class, chapters 1-12
3rd class, students will be discussing the chapters that were to be read for class, chapters 13-25
4th class, students will be discussing the chapters that were to be read for class, chapters 26-38
5th class, students will be discussing their thoughts on the book and discussing the next book in the Harry Potter series

In each class when we discuss the chapters we will be discussing the vocabulary and study guide questions. We will also be going over discussion questions from each chapter as well. We will be using Google Classroom to answer discussion questions in class.

Teacher expertise and credentials

Wisconsin Teaching Certificate in Special Education

Hello! My name is Teacher Hannah. I have been a teacher for 10 years. My experiences include public elementary and middle school, after school programs, summer camp settings, online setting, autism therapy, and I am also a special education teacher in the public elementary setting. My career has allowed me to teach a range of students which includes, gifted students, students with specific learning needs, students with behavioral needs, students on the Autism spectrum, and English language learners. 

I have taught many different subjects throughout my years. Some of my favorite topics to teach include but are not limited to read alouds, Harry Potter, exercise (any physical activities), yoga, any and all animals, discussion groups, space, social and emotional learning, self-regulation, and many more!

When I am working with students, I encourage them to create a sense of community among themselves. Working together verses as an independent instructor and a group of students help create a safe place for ideas to flow. I want students to leave my classroom as well-rounded people who can interact with their peers as independent thinkers. 

I encourage my students to make mistakes and learn from them and to have a growth mindset. When children challenge themselves they are exercising and growing their brains. When a student fails at something I want them to see it as a learning opportunity. Learning to challenge themselves in and outside the classroom will help them become persistent, resilient, well-rounded individuals. 

When I am not teaching I enjoy drawing, reading, hiking, exercising, singing, dancing, nature, animals, playing video games, listening to music, taking care of my autistic brother, and being with my spouse and family. 

I look forward to seeing you in the classroom and all the learning and fun we will have!
