In this fun and lively ongoing class we will use Mo Willems' wonderful children's books to explore Common Core-aligned English Language Arts skills. In each class we will read 1-2 of Mo Willems' Pigeon, Elephant and Piggie or Unlimited Squirrels books while we practice using an important core ELA skill. Some of the skills which may be covered include: - Making predictions - Examining text elements (speech bubbles, font size, punctuation, etc) - Practicing sight words - Identifying letter sounds - Rhyming words - Counting syllables - Sequencing and summarizing - Identifying character traits - Comparing and contrasting characters - Making connections between stories and our own lives - Identifying problems and solutions - and more! Perfect for PreK and kindergartener learners, this class will be high energy and lots of fun! Any handouts or additional materials needed for class will be posted in the classroom two days before each lesson starts.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Rachel Call and I believe we live in a big, bright beautiful world! I have traveled and lived in over 25 different countries on five different continents and I am passionate about culture, language and diversity. I believe it is important for children to learn to embrace our differences, both large and small, by learning to see the world with different lenses.
I believe learning should be fun, active and engaging. I think children learn best when they feel valued and can fully enjoy the learning process. I love to read (especially fun children's books like Elephant and Piggie!) and I love making kids laugh! I strive to offer both an immersive and inclusive experience in my classes.
I have taught social studies, English and math both in the brick and mortar classroom but also as an online ESL teacher. I have a Bachelors of Science in Sociology with minors in African Studies and International Development from Brigham Young University. I am also a wife and a mama to two spunky little girls and one moody little cat.
