Class Experience

US Grade Pre-Kindergarten - Kindergarten
This ongoing class is designed for learners that want to learn to read. Learners must know most of the letters and letter sounds. This class focuses on letters and letter sounds to build words. Instruction is based off of word families. Learners will learn the word family first (-at, -en, -it, on, -ut, etc.) and then practice adding beginning letters to form words. Learners will also learn simple sight words to help develop sentences. Each week, learners will be provided with a worksheet to practice writing the words. This sheet can be turned into a book to practice words at home. During class, we will play games to help reinforce the skills!

We focus on a different word family each week. The weeks are stand alone lessons so learners can join at any time!

Hello families! My name Heidi and I love learning. I have a passion to help and guide others to find joy in learning.  With over 17 years teaching experience at all levels (Prek-12), my goal for every class is to bring the fun from the classroom to your learner's device! 

With over 5 years of online teaching experience, I enjoy finding new ways to make virtual learning fun! I offer a variety of educational classes for learners ages 3-12.  In each class, learners will have the opportunity to learn, apply, and expand learning during class. All of my classes are open to learners of all abilities. Please contact me with any accommodations your learner may need to succeed in class! 

I told you I enjoy learning... 😉 My education background includes: 
Teaching Endorsement in Early Childhood Special Education
Masters of Education in Early Childhood Education 
Bachelors of Education in Elementary and Special Education

I have teaching experience in teaching children with:
ESL, Autism, Multiple Disabilities, Down Syndrome, Hearing Disabilities, Learning Disabilities, Behavior Disabilities, and Physical Disabilities

Outside of work, I am happily married and have two amazing kids (8 and 10) and a crazy dog! 🐾 We are a homeschool family (and enjoy taking advantage of the many classes that Outschool offers).  I enjoy baking, designing on Procreate, crafting, and being outdoors with my family! 

I look forward to this journey with you and your learner. I hope to see your learner in the classroom soon! :)
