In this one-time class, students will take turns searching for matching cards in a virtual memory matching game! We will begin our session with a quick hello song to greet each learner by name before moving into a quick preview of the cards that will be used for our session. This will give students a moment to familiarize themselves with the descriptive and directional language needed to play the game in a virtual format. We will then play several rounds of our memory matching game to ensure that each learner has adequate time to participate and find some matching pairs. We will finish our session by counting up how many matches we've made, as well as engaging in a final check-in discussion before we say goodbye.
I value an emergent teaching style, in which I respond to student interests and preferences as much as possible during the course of each session. As such, the order and content of each activity may be modified to ensure that each young learner is as developmentally supported and intrinsically motivated as possible.Learning Goals
-Students will be able to use directional language to guide an adult to the desired card.
-Students will be able to use descriptive language to guide an adult to the desired card.
-Students will be able to utilize their working memory to find matching pairs in a card game.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Massachusetts Teaching Certificate
Master's Degree in Education from Wheelock College
I hold my MS in Early Childhood Education from Wheelock College at Boston University, and I am professionally certified in Early Childhood, Moderate Disabilities, English as a Second Language, and Sheltered English Immersion in the state of Massachusetts. I have ten years of teaching experience at the early childhood level in a wide variety of racially, ethnically, linguistically, and neurologically diverse settings--lab, private, public, home-based, non-profit, co-op, and virtual--throughout the Greater Boston area.
As co-founder of the National SEED Project Emily Style so adeptly summarized in her 1988 essay "Curriculum as Window and Mirror", curriculum should function "both as window and as mirror, in order to reflect and reveal most accurately both a multicultural world and the student herself or himself". This means that it is intrinsically important for ALL educators--including those who may not be members of a marginalized group themselves--to expose every student, regardless of their personal identity markers, to a multiplicity of cultures and ways of being in the world. To ensure that I am up to this crucial task, I have continuously pursued and successfully completed the following graduate-level coursework related to multicultural, multilingual, inclusive, and antiracist instruction over the past seven years:
* Racial and Cultural Identities-Wheelock College at Boston University
* Introduction to Inclusive Early Childhood Education Settings-Wheelock College at Boston University
* Effective Sheltered English Instruction: Second Language Acquisition-Wheelock College at Boston University
* Impact of Special Needs: Early Childhood-Wheelock College at Boston University
* Mathematical Learning for Diverse Learners-Wheelock College at Boston University
* Becoming a More Equitable Educator: Mindsets and Practices-Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)Reviews
