I am so excited to offer this one time class that allows me to share life on our 500 acre ranch with my students. In this class, learners will see real photos and videos of all the animals, vehicles, buildings, and natural resources needed to run the ranch. Along the way, students will learn the definitions for several terms such as cow, heifer, steer, bull, and calf. Learners will engage in math problem solving involving the cattle such as weight gain, income per cow sold, and hay consumption. There will be opportunities for critical thinking such as "Why do you think this ranch has 8 ponds?" Finally, we will tie the entire lesson together with a fun game of Kahoot. Come join me to experience life on the ranch! Kahoot works best with a second device such as an IPhone or IPad. It can be played with two tabs open if the learner is familiar with playing that way.

Learning Goals

Other Details
Parental Guidance
Kahoot is used which works best on a second device such as a phone or an Ipad. If the learner is familiar with working with two tabs open, then one device will work.
The term "steer" refers to a neutered (or castrated) male bovine. I will avoid the terms and plan to say that a steer is a male animal that is raised only for beef. I may have to say that it is surgically altered if any questions are asked.
Supply List
A second device for Kahoot is reccommended.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Welcome! I retired in May, 2020 after thirty years in education, and I am so excited to continue teaching on Outschool! I have experience teaching students in first grade, fourth grade, and fifth grade. I also taught Reading Recovery and served as a reading interventionist, an assistant principal and a testing coordinator. During my years in fourth and fifth grade, I specialized in reading and writing. Reading is my passion, and I am so excited to share that passion with your child. My lessons will focus on reading comprehension strategies and grammar.
I have a Bachelor’s of Science degree from Texas Woman’s University in Elementary Education with a minor in English. I also hold a Master’s Degree from the University of North Texas in Educational Administration. I am ESL certified and have taught online ESL classes for two years. My husband and I live on a ranch in East Texas, so I spend much of my free time helping him with the never ending duties ranch life requires. We also enjoy spending time with our four beautiful grandchildren.
I believe that when students are engaged, they will be productive learners. I can’t wait to provide an engaging and fun learning experience for your child!Reviews
