Class Experience

What could be more fun than measuring with candy instead of a ruler? In this fun introduction to perimeter and area as well as symmetry, learners will measure various shapes using candy. We will also discuss basic math formulas for the perimeter of squares and rectangles. We will learn various reasons that both perimeter and area are useful in life. The class will conclude with each learner making a perimeter person using graph paper (provided in a print out) and measuring the perimeter of the person.

Teacher expertise and credentials

Hi there! Miss Cindy here! I'm excited to take you into the world of learning, whether that is for an academic subject, such as math, reading, writing or tutoring or a social class which includes public speaking or social interaction. 

TYPICAL CLASS ROUTINE:

Greeting/Get to know you time
Class time, including teaching of given topic and practice of that skill
Closing which may include a puppet, a game, or show and tell, depending on the type of class your learner is taking. My goal is to have every child smiling and excited to return to the next class!


TEACHING CREDENTIALS & STYLE:

Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education
27 years of brick and mortar classroom experience
Four years of experience teaching online
Recognized by Outschool as Outstanding Teacher, Popular Teacher, and Rising Star
Recognized as Teacher of the Year three times in my school
I try to keep students engaged through a mix of hands on teaching and great student interaction. I enjoy learning about each child and making a connection that makes them want to return to class!

PHILOSOPHY OF LEARNING:
Every child is capable of learning, although some may learn in different ways. Making learning fun and working hard to learn produces children who want to learn even more! And isn't that our life goal?! Let's make life-long lovers of learning together!

ABOUT ME:

When I'm not in the classroom, I love to spend time outside walking or working in my yard, reading, or spending time with friends. I also like to bake bread and make cookies. 

Let me know if you have questions or need additional information! I hope to see your learner soon!
