Class Experience

US Grade Kindergarten - 3
1) What will be taught? In this one time class students will write about their favorite toy coming to life. Students will practice their writing skills while getting to write about and show off their favorite toy. They will also get to see different students toys as well. 
2) What topics will I cover? The topic covered in this class is creative writing. Students will learn how to develop a great creative writing piece about their toy coming to life. I will teach them about writing a lengthy story with a beginning, middle and end. 
3) How is my class structured? This class is structured by modeling what needs to be done in the assignment, and then the student doing it on their own with the help of the teacher. Students will be interacting with myself and other students the entire time except when they watch the audio book at the beginning of class when we read the story "Too Many Toys". 
4) What is my teaching style? My teaching style of making learning fun. I believe that students learn best in an inviting environment, while still having structure. 
5)How much will learners get to interact with myself and other students? Students will get to interact with myself and other students by showing everyone in the classroom their toy. 

Beginning of class: Students will introduce themselves and their favorite toy. Each student will get to show their toy and talk about it. I will also show students my own toy kazoo. 

Next: Students will read a story about having too many toys. 
Next: We will talk about the book and answer comprehension questions. 
Next: I will introduce the anchor chart about beginning, middle, and end. I will use this to make my own writing piece about my toy Kazoo to demonstrate to students. 
Next: I will have students brainstorm what they could write about. 
Then: Students will start to write their stories. 
Last: Students will read their finished stories to assess the writing knowledge that they picked up.
Learning Goals

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello Everyone!! I have a joke for you.....
What school do you greet people in?......Hi School!:):)

I LOVE teaching! I graduated from West Texas A&M University with my bachelor's degree in elementary education. I have also acquired a masters degree in reading instruction, and am passionate about teaching kids to read. When I graduated college I taught first grade for two years in North Carolina. I have also had the opportunity to teach English online with VIPKID for a couple years. This is an ESL company based in China. This has given me experience with making learning FUN in the online environment. I have lots of tricks up my sleeve. I really enjoy teaching creative writing, so if you are interested in getting your child engaged while writing, I would love to be your teacher:) I also have two precious Corgi's named Peach and Noodle that like to make appearances in my classes as well. Students always look forward to this. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Thanks so much and I hope to meet you all soon!
