I have always loved the classroom practice of daily journal writing. Journal writing is a fun way to get students to think, to get them to be silly, to incorporate math, to hear what they have to say, and to get to know who they really are. That is exactly what this course is designed to do! In this on-going class, learners will respond to a question or writing prompt in a writing journal which they will keep. Regular writing practice allows children to build their confidence in their writing. They will be introduced to and practice writing skills such as: Capitalization, punctuation, and spacing their words out. Writers will strengthen their sentences by adding details and descriptive words when needed. Learners will be encouraged to write their responses and ideas to suit their abilities. They will also be encouraged to illustrate their response and to share with the others in their Journal Club. I like to have fun and get to know my students. This class is designed to be educational and helpful as well as informal so that they feel comfortable to express themselves. My hope is that this allows for learners to get to know others and themselves all while practicing their writing skills!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello!
I am Ms. Marie, a lover of learning, playing and creating! I have been doing these things all of my life, and been sharing them with learners of all ages for 13 years!
I have been a "teacher" all of my life (babysitter, camp counselor, resident assistant, Peace Corps volunteer), but formally, I have been teaching since 2009. Much of my experience comes from teaching 3, and 4-year old children in a private preschool, and I have taught 1st and 2nd grade.
My strength as a teacher comes from teacher my ability to follow the interest of my learners and to create meaningful, play-based learning experiences in my classes. My classes incorporate literacy, numeracy, science and social studies in hands on ways so that learners can explore, create and engage with materials and each other. Whether a journaling class, a preschool class or a games camp, I have a ton of energy and loads of enthusiasm! I look forward to meeting you in my classroom!Reviews
