In this ongoing course, we will learn our letters with Llama! Each class will have Llama helping to teach your child their letters. Each class we will learn five letters from the English alphabet. Each class we will focus on 5 letters from the alphabet, practice pronunciation, write our letters and think of words that start with each letter. We will work on both uppercase and lowercase letters. For this lesson I will be using Nearpod which allows me to make this class fully interactive for your child. Using Nearpod they can write right on the computer or iPad screen. Parents are able to have the slides on a separate device if they choose. If your child is more comfortable, they can use a chalkboard or paper. Whatever works for them. I will engage our little learners in conversation and discuss our letters and what words we can use them for. This class is ongoing, and your child may join in at anytime. My class is structured to be a mix of listening to the story and include opportunity for our little learners to speak and talk about our letters as we go.
Learning Goals
In this class, our little learners will follow Llama as she explores the letters of the alphabet. We will learn our letter names and practice writing our letters and discuss words that begin with our letters. Each class we will focus on 5 letters from the alphabet, practice pronunciation, write our letters and think of words that start with each letter. We will work on both uppercase and lowercase letters. We will also play a game at the end of activity time.
Please note, I use Nearpod to guide our little learners through the story and activities. If your little learner does not know how to draw on the screen, I would appreciate you showing them how. You do need the Nearpod program to run this lesson but if your child is not comfortable or unable to write on the iPad/ computer screen they are welcome to use paper or a chalk board. For those parents that like to run the lesson on a separate device the Nearpod code will be entered into the classroom just before class. Click the link with your secondary device. For those who want to have the slides in zoom please click the link in the chat box at the start of class.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Welcome to the home of The Adventures of Pig (and other things).
My name is Ms. Shannon and I am an entrepreneur!
I live in Canada with my husband and my two teenage daughters. We share our lives with 8 chickens, 2 silver tabby cats: Juergen and Pig, and a hedgehog named Rocket. I also have two adult sons who go to college and live on their own.
I have been fortunate in life to have had the opportunity to wear many hats in life. I am an entrepreneur in my heart and soul.
I bred Persian cats for a number of years, started and operated a concrete company, and taught English as a second language. Currently, I am the CEO of a helicopter parts distribution company and I design and teach courses on various subjects for both adults and children.
Living life with passion and drive is my key to happiness. I believe strongly that we can live life on our own terms and create a life of intention and gratefulness. “just jump in" is my own personal mantra. What is the worse that could happen, failure, rejection?
In 2018, I appeared on HGTV Caribbean Life as I made a major life shift and bought a home on the island of Utila. We wanted out of the rat race and jumped into a life of adventure, beaches, and meeting new people.
I hold an English degree in Creative Writing and have been a published writer for 14 years. My classes revolve around discussion and collaboration. I know from experience, that many times we can be stuck with an idea until a fresh set of eyes show up. Kids enjoy talking about their ideas and sharing with others, but can you guess what they like even more? Helping! During my time teaching an early writers lunchtime program at both elementary and middle school level, I was amazed to see how excited and on fire my students would become when helping others craft their stories! Imagination and creativity is like an active volcano, as the energy grows, genius and originality begin to erupt to epic levels!
Join me for adventure time and laughter my new friends!
xoxo
