US Grade Preschool - 1
In this course students will learn their letters using songs, books, interactive letter sorts, and will use whiteboards/markers, play-doh, and more to practice composing the letter of the day! Each class will begin with a catchy song that focuses on a letter of the alphabet! We will use an anchor chart and point to the words of the song as we sing! Once we are finished singing we will move on to a book that focuses on the same letter the song did. As we read, I will have the book under the document camera and together we will read go on a letter hunt in our book. Next, students will help me complete a letter sort on my magnetic whiteboard that will be placed under my document camera. Finally, students can use their whiteboard and marker or play-doh to learn how to compose our letter!
Learning Goals
Students will learn their letters, letter sounds, and how to write their letters!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Kentucky Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hello!
I am Laura Smith also known as Teacher Laura! I have never felt like teaching was a job. Instead teaching has always felt like a passion to me! I love working with children of all ages! As I begin the 2022-2023 school year I will also be diving into my tenth year of teaching. I have had the opportunity to teach all subject areas in grades 3-5 during this time. My favorite subject to teach is English Language Arts. I love combining reading and writing in the content areas so that students can learn to read and write like historians and scientists. I am also currently involved in the Kentucky Reading Project where we are learning to incorporate Jennifer Serravallo's reading strategies in our reading instruction to help improve reading, writing, fluency, and more!
I currently hold a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education, a Masters Degree in Literacy Specialist, and my TESOL certificate for teaching ESL. Through these certificates and 9 years of teaching experience I have learned that students first have to know that you care before they care what you know. My favorite part of teaching has been building lasting relationships with students and seeing them succeed. I love making learning fun and interactive. Most of all I love the subject of reading because I love sharing literature with children that they can relate to and that can teach them life lessons.
Aside from teaching I enjoy being a mother to my five year old son Scheyer. We love to go on "adventures" as Scheyer calls them! He has helped me learn how to enjoy life more than I ever thought possible. When I do find time for myself I enjoy exercising and playing sports. Growing up playing basketball was my favorite sport. I played all through high school and college and have enjoyed sharing my love for the game with my students!
