Students will learn how to differentiate between different long vowel sounds combinations and digraphs (magic e, ai, ay, ea, ee, ey, oa, ue, oo, au, ew, ar, er, or, ir, ou, ow, oi, oy, ar, ear) using the Montessori method of sound sorting, encoding (word building) and decoding words (reading). The Montessori Method provides fun, engaging and interactive lessons, giving students a foundation to build upon. This method sparks joy in reading, and students gain a sense of confidence in their ability to read. I will use Montessori learning materials such as mystery vowel sound sorting, the moveable alphabet, word building games and white board to teach these contents. Words and phrases from The Bob Books, set 5 will be referenced. Children will have the opportunity to share their thoughts and ideas. I It will be an interactive, engaging and turn-taking class. Everyone will have a chance to share thoughts and ideas, making the class personable and memorable. Bi-weekly work will be emailed to parents in PDF format for class preparation. I will keep learning fun and light to make this class a pleasant learning experience.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello!
I am a mom, Montessori teacher and yoga instructor who enjoys inspiring the minds of young student to love learning, and have an appreciation for living in the moment.
I received my Montessori training on the campus of the University of California- Irvine, and have had the pleasure of working with directors trained by Maria Montessori and her son, Mario Montessori while teaching in Newton, MA.
The Montessori teaching method teaches the whole child, learning through the senses-sight, sound and tactile specifically.
As a yoga instructor, I believe we are students our whole life. There is so much beauty in life and in the world for us to learn and share. Outschool is definitely a great platform for instilling a love of learning and I would be happy to share in your child's educational journey.
