US Grade Pre-Kindergarten - 1
Junior Paleontologists will tell what they know about dinosaurs & also make more discoveries about them. We will learn some cool dinosaur facts, move our bodies to "defeat" a dinosaur, make fossil discoveries, and create our own Play-Doh Dinosaur. We will discover more about these extinct creatures through colorful slides, short video clips, song, a virtual field trip, and end class with Play-Doh time. Don't forget to bring several cartons of Play-Doh, a small plastic dinosaur toy or other small plastic animal, a small leaf, and a child safe knife. And of course your favorite dinosaur toy is always welcome to join you! Parents of young learners may want to assist in creating the Play-Doh fossils & dinosaur. _____________ Class Overview: Introductions/Hello--let's get to know each other Song What do you know?

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from University of Georgia
Fun, positive, and encouraging! That’s what I hear from parents and students alike that take classes with me. I have an extensive background in musical theatre and acting so it’s only natural to bring that side of my personality to teaching. Learning should be exciting and fun. My classroom is colorful, engaging, and we will have so much fun together! My motto is: If I love teaching, my students love learning!
I love singing, acting, science, animals, volunteering in my community, crafting classroom props and creating up-cycled crafts. Just to name a few! I have been
married 25 years and we have 2 teen children and 3 dogs.
Education background:
I graduated from the University of Georgia with a Bachelor of Science in Education. I focused on Reading Education and Learning Disabilities in graduate school at UGA. I also have a 120 hour TESOL certificate for teaching ESL classes.
I currently teach phonics, beginning reading and comprehension, Play-Doh science classes, ESL, and several socialization and fun classes to students around the world. So many parents have told me their student works even harder practicing reading, phonics and speaking English in my ESL classes because of my motivation. Positive teaching methods that incorporate applicable skills propel my students to find their own inward motivation and exhibit great success. There’s no higher compliment for a teacher than knowing your student works to improve themselves because they love you and your class. Hard work, kindness, genuine love & a passion for teaching each student is the key to making a lasting impression on learners.
Now let’s get started! Engaging and exciting classes await your learner. See you in the classroom!
