Class Experience

US Grade Kindergarten
Please be advised that this is an ELA class (English Language Arts) and not an ESL class (English as a Second Language); however many ESL students with a grasp of the alphabet and basic English words thrive in this class. Thank you!

In this ongoing kindergarten and first-grade class, students will join the teacher five days a week (M-F) for a well-rounded language arts curriculum in phonics, sight words, spelling, writing, grammar, & reading comprehension while having a blast! Running on a 30-week cycle (two semesters) year-round, your child can come and go through the entire year as needed. This class is designed for kindergarteners who need to be challenged, and for first graders who need to get caught up. 

Each class begins with a short warm-up to get students in the mindset to engage in class in a friendly and fun way, and then the topic of the day will be announced:

💙Monday: Phonics and Sight Words
💙Tuesday: Reading Comprehension
💙Wednesday: Spelling
💙Thursday: Writing Sentences
💙Friday: Grammar 

Every lesson is fully engaging and students will be encouraged to participate through fun games, puzzles, and group votes without being put in the spotlight. Students will feel confident by the end of each lesson that they have mastered the day's concepts and goals. 

THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO SECTIONS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME

See you in the classroom!

Love,
Teacher Bethanie

💙 If a student misses a class, there will be a recording available to view so your child won't miss any of the lessons. Ongoing classes are designed so that students may come and go without needing to attend prior classes - the classes do not build on one another. Students can drop in whenever they like!

Learning Goals

Students will improve reading, spelling, writing, and comprehension while boosting confidence and a love for learning.

Hello, my name is teacher Bethanie, and I love to teach grammar, vocabulary, storytime, book clubs, reading comprehension, writing, spelling, phonics, sight words, and all things English Language Arts!

🎓 ACE Educator Certified

My experiences include:
🌼 ESL (English as a second language) teaching
🌼 Private English tutor
🌼 Organizational coach
🌼 Small and large group teaching

My teaching values and styles:
💟 Fun and laughter are the secrets to retention
💟 A stair-step approach makes any topic easy to grasp
💟 Teacher energy is important for engagement
💟 Positive reinforcement through kindness and understanding
💟 Making sure every student is seen and heard
💟 A classroom should be a flexible space for all types of personalities
💟 Even "boring" subjects or topics can be taught in a fun way

Types of classes I teach:

My favorite things include reading, book hunting, laughing, writing, watching movies, and playing games! I have a cranky grey Tabby cat named Potter, a codependent Rat Terrier named Pippen, a distinguished orange Tabby cat named Salinger, a sweet Cockatiel named Poppy (who loves to give kisses and say "baby bird" & "peek-a-boo!"), and two precocious children (ages 14 and 17). 

See you in the classroom soon!

Love,
Teacher Bethanie
