Here's a look at our class routine: 1. Welcome & Show and Tell/ Sharing Time- Bring anything special to you that you would like to share. Everyone will be "spotlighted" on the big screen as they share. (5 minutes). 2. Calendar Meeting- Circle time routine that includes joke of the day, question of the day, number of the day, word wall, patterns, seasons, months, days of the week, and date. I will provide an optional activity sheet and a calendar for those who like to keep track of the date, month, year and special days coming up. (15 minutes). 3. Special Activity- We will play a game such as scavenger hunt, trivia or "would you rather?" or enjoy a fun draw along doodle time together. (8-10 minutes). 4.

Learners are required to be kind and polite to everyone in the class.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Texas Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
I am so excited for the opportunity to bring creative, energetic and meaningful lessons to the learners on Outschool. I am a certified school teacher, and I have classroom experience in both public and private schools. Currently, I work exclusively teaching online while homeschooling my own children. As a homeschooling family, we love to spend time together traveling when possible, and enjoying the great outdoors at our country home with our animals.
The classes I offer are full of fun activities that engage the students while they are learning. I love teaching with a theme that captivates the interests of learners. All of the classes that I offer are designed for learners in the 3-7 years old age range. My specialties include circle time, playdough playtime, alphabet mini classes and beginning level language arts.
It is my goal to give every student time to shine in all of my classes. Everyone has the opportunity to contribute to the lesson. This helps build important social skills, make friends and also feel important, valued and special. I look forward to seeing you soon in one of my very fun, interactive child-friendly classes soon!
