Class Experience

US Grade 3
Please note: class may go over the estimated scheduled time. It is best for learners to start at the beginning of the listed math concept/topic. However, if you feel that your learner can benefit from jumping right in, feel free. Please see schedule.

This class will allow learners to practice grade 3 concepts from the math curriculum. Please read the class description to see if this class is a good fit for your learner.  Materials will be posted Monday mornings. Please have materials ready before the start of class.  Let’s have fun working on math together.

Each lesson will have the same format: 
* Warm up: we will do a math warm up to help turn on our minds to get ready for the lesson. Math questions will be displayed on a google slide. Students are encouraged to share their thinking with the class. Our warm ups are focused on grade 3 level subtraction, addition, multiplication, division and/or fraction concepts. Warm up helps students get their minds ready to learn and reinforce several math concepts. 

* Lesson: I will teach a lesson to the class. We will work together using manipulatives and powerpoint presentations. (Please note, I include a paper copy of manipulatives. However, some of our units do not require manipulatives). Students will “Watch Me First”, explaining a concept and work through a problem. Then through guided practice, students will work through the material with me. Students will be provided with a worksheet to record their thinking as we engage in the lesson. We will be using various types of manipulatives. Students are encouraged to use manipulatives along with me. Please note: depending on the math concept, there may be no manipulatives. 

* Independent work: Students will work on assigned work with support from me. Students are encouraged to use manipulatives. Students will be provided with a worksheet. We will go over the work together.  Students are encouraged to share their thinking with the class.

*Reflection: Students will reflect on their thinking and how they feel about the math topic.

* I will teach the students a game to play at home or activity to support math concept

Non-US Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Mount Saint Vincent University
Hello, my name is Ms. Colleen.  I am a certified licensed elementary school teacher.  I have been a classroom teacher for over 12 years in Nova Scotia, Canada. Throughout my teaching career, I have taught students from primary to grade 8 and look forward to bring my teaching knowledge to the online classroom.  I also have experience teaching ESL lessons on an online setting. 

Teaching young children is my passion! I choose engaging and meaningful activities to help support life long learning.  I strive to produce a positive and encouraging class environment where learners will want to participate, helping to support learners in achieving their academic goals. 

I have a Bachelor of Education Degree and a Child and Youth Degree both from Mount Saint Vincent University.  I also hold a Child and Youth Worker Diploma and an Early Childhood Education Diploma both from the Institute For Human Services Education. I also have received my Outschool ACE certification.

I have been a volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters, being a big sister to a grade 5 child. I have been a swimming instructor teaching children from the infant age to adults. In my spare time, I enjoy playing the piano, reading, hiking and having fun with my small dog Belle. 
I can not wait to help support your child's literacy and math skills.  See you in the classroom. - Ms. Colleen Taylor
