Class Experience

US Grade 4
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 4 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.  

** Please note: class may run over 40 minutes depending on learners needs.

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 4 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 will 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. 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 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.
*  Game or activity to support math concept
*  Extension: Students will be provided with an extension activity that he or she can complete on their own time.  Extension activities are a support for learning outside of class time.  These activities are not evaluated by me.

Teacher expertise and credentials
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
