Class Experience

US Grade Preschool - Kindergarten

In this beginning reading course, young students will explore CvC words (consonant, vowel, consonant) and sight words. We will explore letter sounds and use reading strategies in a fun and engaging manner. 

-The class will be structured as follows: 

Welcome and Introductions
Instructions
Warm-Up Activity
Review Slides and Complete Activities
Discussion and Questions
Closing and Goodbyes

Sample Class Schedule:

 Monday: Word Family at (cat, sat, mat, bat)  Sight words I, at

Tuesday: Word Family: en: (den, hen, pen, ten) Sight Words: or, that

Thursday: Word Family: it (bit, hit, sit, fit) Sight Words: one, had

Friday: Word Family: og (dog, log, fog, jog) Sight Words: day, long


Learners will complete various literacy activities with the teacher. Slides will be utilized in class. 

Learners will interact with the teacher during the welcome and introductions, warm-up, slides, discussion, questions, and goodbyes. Students will interact with the slides, dance, and sing with the teacher.

My teaching style is that of a constructivist. I believe that children learn best through learning in an interactive manner. Students will be able to move, count, and chant during the lesson and act upon their learning.

Learning Goals

Students will improve their understanding of letter sounds, word families, and sight words. Students will learn reading strategies to help them read with more independence.

Welcome everyone! I'm Miss Sarah, and I am so happy you are here! Let's learn together!

 I have been a preschool teacher for five years, and I have five additional years of classroom experience as a substitute teacher and teacher's aide. I earned my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Early Childhood Education from the University of Cincinnati. I have also taught English to children online for two years. I have been teaching on Outschool since 2020.  I was awarded Teacher of the Year for my district in 2017, as well as Support Staff Member of the Year in 2015. 

I consider myself to be a constructivist, so I believe that children learn best when acting upon their learning. When children engage in natural play, song, and movements, they connect with the content. When children enjoy educational activities, they are more interested and focused, which helps to better their progress in learning. 

I love helping students learn how to read. I have fun, interactive classes that focus on letters, letter sounds, and reading strategies that help young learners gain confidence in reading while learning new skills. Students love going on reading adventures with our friend, Telly the Turtle, who is learning to read along with them. I am currently at university for a reading certificate in post graduate studies to further my own knowledge to best help students with reading mastery. 

I am very passionate about animals and nature. I am a wildlife rehabilitator and currently volunteer at a wildlife rehabilitation center. I also volunteer at a local humane society assisting animals. These experiences make me uniquely qualified to teach about animals. 

I love teaching all content areas. This includes math, art, science, music, social studies, and literacy. Classes that I teach are fun, interactive, engaging, and hands-on. We sing, have lively discussions, make crafts and projects, and dance! I hope to see you in class soon! -Miss Sarah
