In this ongoing Outschool novel study book club, learners will meet to discuss classic and contemporary books! We will read and discuss books that compel thinking, relating, and great discussions! Learners are encouraged to join the conversation, but it is not required. I strive to create a safe and relaxed space for my learners. Learners will read and discuss characters, themes, plots, figurative language, and more!
I adore literature and feel it is invaluable for learners to gain knowledge, feel understood, and sometimes escape. The books we will read teach readers that they are not alone through the universal themes of family, friendship, loyalty, loss, courage, persistence, and empathy.
Supplemental activities may also be posted in the classroom for learners. Learners engage in a fun interactive game of Kahoot to check for comprehension.
Please message me if you'd like more information or don't see a time that fits your schedule. I'd love to see your learner in the book club!

Parental Guidance
Please note sensitive material: In Anne of Green Gables, Anne mistook a bottle of currant wine for cordial, which led to Diana becoming hopelessly drunk. Anne of Green Gables includes themes related to racism, stereotypes, and inaccurate descriptions of Natives. This will be addressed by discussing that this is no longer acceptable or tolerated by most. Unfortunately, it was more accepted in the past due to ignorance and the wrong people being in positions of power or authority.
In My Side of the Mountain: Hunters track and shoot deer near Sam's mountain home. Sam traps animals and butchers them for food and/or skins them for clothing or other necessities. Sam also catches fish and turtles to eat, and his trained falcon helps him catch small game (such as rabbits). All of this is described matter-of-factly, with no sentiment or gore, but learners might be upset by the deer killing and skinning.
Learners will participate in a game of Kahoot each week at their leisure. The Kahoot! Link will be posted in the classroom each week. You do not need an account to play.
1. Learner will click the link.
2. Enter a nickname or name and press go!
3. Read questions and select the correct answer or answers and click submit.
Have Fun! Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Georgia Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
As a licensed teacher for over 30 years, I have had the opportunity to support and engage students with diverse learning needs. I strive to create a positive classroom environment that is both supportive and engaging, where students feel comfortable sharing their ideas and participating in discussions. My goal is to help each student develop a lifelong love for reading while achieving their academic goals.
My passion is literature. I believe stories make concepts more palpable to children. Stories teach students valuable lessons, empathy, and to see the world from different perspectives.
When I have time, I like to travel, experience different cultures, and learn the history of people and places. I am also an animal lover! I have two dogs, have worked with animal rescues, and fostered cats and dogs for years.
I hope to see your learner in class!
"There are many little ways to enlarge your child's world, and the love of books is the best of all." ~ Jacqueline Kennedy OnassisReviews
