Beginner Level
Do you enjoy outer space? Do you want to learn about all the planets? Which planets have moons? Which ones have rings? Can we live on every planet in the solar system? If these questions interest you then come join me on a trip to outer space. We will explore all eight planets in the solar system, we will work on identification of each planet. Each planet has something unique about it to help us remember which planet is which. We will also identify the order from the sun. During this class we will discuss basic characteristics of each planet; for example which planets have rings? How many moons does each planet have? What color is the planet? We will use teacher:student discussion, videos, and PowerPoint for this class. No prior knowledge or experience is required for this class.
Learning Goals
Students will be able to identify all 8 planets in the solar system.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Welcome! I live in Virginia with my two precious boys Ashton, and Carson and a beloved partner of 17 years; Jeremy. I enjoy traveling, spending time with my kids, learning new things, and I especially enjoy teaching. Teaching has always been a dream of mine and I continue to find different enlightening avenues to fulfill this dream.
I have a Bachelor of Liberal Arts with a concentration in Elementary Education, Associates of Arts & Science, and a certificate in Surgical Technology.
I am a licensed teacher and taught 2nd grade for three years and will be teaching third grade this coming year.
I have experience in teaching students to read, write, and math skills.
I started my career as a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant), I then received my certificate in Surgical Technology (CST) and worked in the operating room for 5 years. Then I taught the clinical/lab portion of the Surgical Technology program at the community college level. I worked for a short time in a daycare/preschool setting teaching ages 3-5, which lead me to becoming a Special Education Teacher Assistant in an elementary school, teaching children from kindergarten to fifth grade, this position pathed the way for my current job as a public educator. I volunteered with the local Girl Scouts, for about 5 years, as a troop leader for girls ages 5-18.
I am hoping to teach a diverse group of classes touching on different areas of my expertise and career paths. I enjoy being in the classroom and working with all children, Outschool is just a different version of that classroom and I look forward to working with your child(ren) and enjoying a class(es) together here on Outschool.
