Hi everyone! Welcome to my Penguin Math Class!! In this class, we have A LOT of fun and also do A LOT of counting! Having fun while learning math is a wonderful way to retain the information being taught. Below is what you can expect from my 30 minute class. *I have used this class format in our local homeschool coop multiple times and have received wonderful feedback from the parents and learners. I am so excited to bring it to the Outschool classroom to connect with you and your learner!! ๐ง I have put together an exciting presentation for young learners which includes easy penguin facts and counting! ๐ง We will read the book โFive Flying Penguinsโ by Barbara McGrath ๐ง We will sing a catchy counting song that will leave preschoolers wanting to count even after class! ๐ง We will practice being penguins while counting how many times we can flap our wings. ๐ง At the end of class, we will have a show and tell where each learner gets to bring 5 small objects to show their classmates! This is always a favorite among young learners.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in Psychology from Grand Canyon University
Hello everyone and welcome to my teaching profile! I appreciate you taking a look!
**I am new to the Outschool platform, but I have been teaching online for 12 years.
Similar to many moms, I wear multiple hats. Some of my expertise comes from personal experience while other comes from professional experience. I was born to be a teacher and truly believe I excel in providing safe, engaging classes for all learners. I also believe communication plays an integral part in the success of any teacher. Please do not hesitate to reach out via the outschool platform for any questions or concerns.
My two children, 10 and 12, have been homeschooled since before they could talk. My son is dyslexic and while working with him took an immense about of patience and understanding, he now LOVES to read! While the main goal in working with him was to get him to read, more importantly, the goal of fostering a love of learning always came first. Everyday we begin our homeschool with circle time. We have done this since they were little and adjusted the topics/discussions as they grew. It is a part of our day that they always look forward to! I also lead our local homeschool co-op in circle time 3 times a week.
I have taught elementary classes in the public school system for several years. I also hold a Masters of Science with an emphasis in general Psychology. All of my professional life has been spent working with children and education in one way or another.
My idea for circle time first originated years ago when I had an in-home daycare. Starting our day with circle time helped them to establish a routine within my daycare, and it gave the kids something to look forward to each morning. ๏ฟผ
๏ฟผ๏ฟผWhile obtaining my Masters of Science degree, I became quite the researcher. My thesis was on isolation in an online learning environment and how to foster a sense of community within group courses. I have also done an immense amount of research on children and their learning styles. My classes are structured in a way that allows students with any learning style to benefit. For instance, in all of my classes there is a physical aspect for the kinesthetic learners. I always use presentations or books with bright, fun colors for those visual learners, and I use song and rhyme for the auditory learners.
