If you love mermaids, this is the class for you! Learners can bring a mermaid toy to class so that share their mermaid with others. Learners will begin class with a fun song about mermaids to engage them! We will read a story about a mermaid who has a problem called, "Mermaid School" by Joanne Stewart Wetzel. Learners will be encouraged to share connections, ask questions, and make predictions about the story. After the story, learners will draw a mermaid. They can choose to follow along to a directed drawing or use their creativity to draw freely. Next, we will learn about the letter M. Learners can practice writing the letter m and learn the sounds that goes with m. Finally, if time allows, I have a fun mermaid game where learners can pick a number 1-10 and get a mermaid or a star!

Hello! I am Kristen Galloway. I am a curious life long learner, and I want to share my love of learning with others! I am passionate about making learning fun, engaging, and relevant. I want to meet each child where they are developmentally and be a part of their journey of discovery. With a background in general education, I love to teach lessons that incorporate reading, writing, math, science, social studies. Learners should feel comfortable and welcome in the classroom. I think it is important to make learning a personal experience for each learner. I encourage each student to share their thinking. I work create a space where learners feel comfortable to learn. In order for every child to flourish they need to be seen, heard, and loved.
I believe in building relationships with my students and making learning engaging and connected to their lives. I use a multi-sensory approach to learning. I incorporate multiple domains throughout my lessons. I love to have fun in the classroom through conversations, games, and hands-on learning.
I have a Bachelor's of Science and a Master of Arts in Education. I have my TEFL and TESOL certifications. For the past 14 years, I have taught every grade from PreK-4th grade, sponsored a 3rd-5th grade STREAM club and a K-5 book club. I have also taught English online since 2019.
I have a 21 year old daughter, a 7 year old son, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and an axolotl. In my spare time, I love to read, play card and board games, hike, and watch movies. We love to travel and explore, and enjoy the journey as much as the destination!Reviews
