Class Experience

US Grade Preschool - Kindergarten

In this course your child will be given the opportunity to work out addition and subtraction to 10 problems. We will have the question and the children will match the answer on the toucan. We will then code the robot to get to the answer. Each lesson will get progressively harder. There will also be the opportunity for homework if you wish for your child to do that.
In each lesson we will go over the directions of making the robot move first then we will read some math questions and program Botley the robot to go to the answer. The outline for the course is as follows:
Lesson 1: Learning to move the robot and addition to 3.
Lesson 2: Addition to 5.
Lesson 3: Addition to 10.
Lesson 4: Subtraction within 3.
Lesson 5: Subtraction within 5.
Lesson 6: Subtraction within 10.
Lesson 7: Mixed addition and subtraction to 3
Lesson 8: Mixed addition and subtraction to 5
Lesson 9: Mixed addition and subtraction to 10
Lesson 10: Make your own math fact and code the robot to the answer.

This makes for a great STEM class. Botley is programmed in a similar way to the Beebot that many schools use in Technology class. Your child will be able to build on the skills that they are learning in school with this Botley robot.
I am flexible on the day and time we meet so please contact me if you do not see a time that works for you. 
***This class does have a minimum of 2 students needed to run***

Learning Goals

To practice addition and subtraction within 10.
To learn to code a robot to match the answer.
To work as part of a team.

Hello! I'm Mrs. Thelen, and I believe learning should be an adventure—one filled with curiosity, creativity, and fun! Since earning my teaching degree in England in 2002, I’ve had the joy of teaching children across the globe, from England and Denmark to Oregon, Texas, and Utah. Now, I teach children worldwide through Outschool, expanding my reach beyond the classroom. With teaching certifications in the UK, Utah, and Iowa, I’ve worked with young learners from six weeks to ten years old, primarily focusing on children ages 4–6. Teaching is not just my profession—it’s my passion.
I know that children learn best when they are fully engaged and excited about the subject. That’s why I design interactive, hands-on experiences that encourage participation in a small-group setting and one on one.
Right now, I’m especially excited about my coding/programming classes for children ages 4–8! Using a small robot, students tackle engaging challenges that teach them how to give instructions, solve problems, and think step by step—all while having fun with technology.
Teaching online has been an invaluable experience for me. During the 2020–21 school year, I worked with kindergartners in a virtual setting, ensuring that—beyond academic subjects—children could continue building connections, developing creativity, and enjoying a sense of community. That experience now shapes the way I design my online classes, ensuring your child feels engaged, supported, and excited to learn.
I've always loved being around children—it’s been a natural part of my life as the second eldest of nine siblings! My love for teaching, creating, and exploring new places has shaped the way I approach education, making every lesson an exciting journey. I can’t wait to share my enthusiasm and creativity with your child, helping them learn in a way that’s engaging, fun, and meaningful!
