The Magic Tree House Book 1: Dinosaurs at Dark In this fun and interactive book club we will read 1 book per week. For reluctant readers, that may sound impossible but this series by Mary Pope Osborne is easy to read, yet fun and engaging. Repetition is key to learning new skills, therefore I encourage all students to read about two chapters a day outside of class to keep up with the pace we will read. In class we will read three to four chapters per class and use slides with animations and sounds to spark the learner's interest. We will also discuss themes, analyze characters, highlight key words and vocabulary, as well as share fun facts as we read and engage with the text to develop a love of reading. Class 1: Chapters 1-4 Read chapters 1-4 Introduction to characters Setting and plot discussion Have you ever noticed something unusual in a place you visit often? Do you think it was a good idea for Annie to go into the tree house? Class 2: Chapters 5-7 Read chapters 5-7 Making predictions Continue character analysis: Compare Jack and Annie What would you do if you were faced with a scary animal. Class 3: Chapters 8-10 Read chapters 8-10 discuss timeline and plot If you could use a book to go anywhere, where would you go? introduce some of the other books in the Magic Tree house series

Teacher expertise and credentials
"If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be"- Maya Angelou
Hello. I am a wife and mother of two boys aged 4 and 10. My family and I love to have fun playing video, card, and board games; traveling; singing and dancing (although we are not very good at either); and enjoying the outdoors. In my "spare time" I love to read, watch movies, and do puzzles. My boys are very active and I spend most of my time just trying to keep up with them. I am so excited to be joining the Outschool community as both a teacher and parent. I am excited to connect with students and parents who enjoy some of the things my family and I hold dear.
I have been teaching children of all ages for almost 10 years in the public school system. I have worked with special education, high school, middle school, elementary, and am currently a preschool teacher. I have my Bachelors degree in psychology and am pursuing a degree in school counseling. I love to engage learners of all ages in fun and interactive lessons. I will be offering classes in early education skills, social- emotional skills, and book clubs. My hope is that all learners leave my classroom with a new skill, a happy face, and a full heart.
