Each week will will be focusing on a different theme. We will create thumbprint art to go along with each theme. Week 1 - Insects! This week we will create nine different insects using our thumbprints. As we create each insect, I will share facts about that animal. We will learn the characteristics of an insect. We will decorate two pages that will be provided by the teacher. Week 2 - Ocean animals! We will create an underwater scene using our thumbprints to create an octopus, crab, turtle, fish, diver, and more! We will discuss what a diver needs to be able to go underwater as well as learning about ocean animals. Week 3 - Jungle! In this class, we will focus on learning about the king of the jungle - lions, and also the trickster of the jungle - the monkey! We will create two pieces of art - one for each animal. Week 4 - Farm animals! We will create a farm scene using a barn handout provided by me, and students will add their own farm animals to the barnyard. We will discuss the roles of each animal on the farm. Week 5 - Emotions! We will make faces to go along with over 12 emotions and will discuss the occasions that usually make us feel that way.

Teacher expertise and credentials
My name is Jennifer Dodge, but my students call me Mrs. Jen. I am a certified early childhood teacher with a B.S in Early Childhood Education and a minor in music from Samford University. I have spent 15 years in the classroom teaching preschool, kindergarten, and language arts to first through seventh graders. For the past eleven years, I have had the awesome privilege of homeschooling my own three children who are now ages 23, 21, and 18. Currently, I teach kindergarten in a private school .
I am excited to help students learn to read and LOVE to read through hands on activities so that they will become lifelong learners! You will find that many of my classes are geared toward developing reading skills, novel studies, and hands-on book clubs, and book clubs that center around historical fiction so that we can take a deep dive into the historical aspect of the novel. I also love to teach preschool and kindergarten aged children, so I will also be providing classes that involve practice with fine and large motor skills, music and movement, and beginning reading, math, and science skills so that my students will be ready for school.
As a former homeschool mom, I also look forward to being able to provide classes that support other homeschool moms. If there is an area where their child needs extra enrichment or assistance, or if there is a subject that a mom just simply hates to teach, I would LOVE to partner with her in the homeschooling of her children.
I believe that learning to read and write NEVER has to be boring! I teach my classes with great enthusiasm so that my students will see my love for the subject. I hope this joy will come through the Zoom call and our classroom activities so that they will be excited to read and write as well. Reading and writing is a skill that every person will need throughout their lifetime. It is my goal as a teacher to make the learning of these skill enjoyable and exciting.
I look forward to having the opportunity to teach your child!Reviews
