In this engaging and student centered class, we will go on a virtual field trip to the zoo where learners will hear the story of the Montessori Grammar symbol, the adverb. The symbol is a small orange sphere which is related to the verb. Before beginning, we will make introductions and briefly review of the class rules. We will then make predictions about what animals we might see at the zoo and share which animal is their favorite and why. A Canva slideshow presentation with brief video clips will be used during the zoo tour. Students will see a wide variety of animals, and we will talk and write sentences about each using our adverb symbol. (The lion roars loudly!) The special animals will be our inspiration to write some creative and descriptive sentences. Some introductory reading and writing experience is preferred for this class. I look forward to seeing everyone in the classroom for this fun zoo experience together!
Learning Goals
Students will improve their understanding of the Montessori adverb grammar symbol through interactive writing activities.

Hello! I am so excited to teach your kiddos on Outschool! I have a degree in Elementary Education and have been teaching over 25 years. I also have a specialty Montessori certificate in grades 1-3, and a TESOL certification credential. For nine years I specialized as a learning Title I learning support teacher with a focus in reading and writing in the language arts curriculum with 5-9 year olds. I have taught 1st and 2nd grade in a Montessori classroom. I love helping children learn to read by teaching the fundamental skills of early reading, grammar, reading comprehension and writing. I also teach many cultures themed lessons for learners where we can enjoy exploring topics of our planet and space together!
I love to help children learn and be successful in the classroom through fun and engaging activities. I like to make classes challenging and rewarding for students, and I have a very student centered approach, which is aligned with the Montessori teaching philosophy. I think of myself as a guide, who always strives to meet children at their instructional level.
Outside of teaching, I am a mother of adult boy/girl twins. My husband and I have a senior rescue terrier named Sandy and we love to go for long walks. I also enjoy living a very healthy lifestyle which includes walking, hiking, yoga, running and enjoying nature whenever possible!
Thank you for taking the time to find out more about me. I hope to see your child in the classroom soon!Reviews
