This is the multi-week class where students will be taught the basics of our Solar System. Some of the examples that will be included in the weekly course will include, but not limited to:
* Jupiter
* Earth
* Saturn
* Mercury
* Uranus
* Neptune
* Mars
* Venus
* Pluto
* Comets
* The Sun
* The Moon
Students will write a summary paragraph towards the end of class about what they learned in class. This course is designed to learn some key things about our Solar System and how to write an effective summary paragraph. We will have open discussions about each topic and what it means to write an effective, summary paragraph.
This course is designed to educate students about our Solar System.
Each student will have the ability to speak in this open forum classroom. This is not solely a lecture type class. This is an interactive class. Each student will be allowed to actively talk and communicate their knowledge about the given topic. In addition, if a student has an idea to learn about, the teacher will take this under advisement for a future class.
Towards the end of class, each student will write a minimum of a five sentence paragraph about the day's topic. This will help the students to practice their summary writing and allow for the teacher to assess the child's knowledge of the topic.
Students will be able to privately meet with the teacher during class, while the other students are writing their summaries, if requested. In addition, students will be able to have the opportunity to share their summary if they choose to share. Peer review will be allowed for those students who do not mind. If the student does not want to participate in a peer review, that will be fine.
In addition, the students will be creating their own Solar System throughout the course. After each class, the student will create that week's topic to be added to their final project. For example, the week we learn about The Sun, the students will create The Sun through what ever art supplies or other types of supplies. During our 16th week, all students will present their final project of their versions of the Solar System.
This 3D Solar System, along with a final report will be turned in for week 16. Students will receive feedback on the final project and final report within one week of the conclusion of the class.
The class will be interactive and lighthearted. The students will guide the learning and the teacher will be the facilitator. I believe we should learn at least one new thing a day, including me. I hope to learn from the students, as well as the students learn from the teacher and each other.Learning Goals
* Students will learn key points about our Solar System.

* Students will broaden their sentence structures into more complex and compound sentences.
* Students will be able to effectively take one class or multiple classes.

Other Details
Supply List
The students will be expected to create a 3D Diorama. The supplies required for this will be dependent on each student's desires. Some students may choose paper mache, others may choose other art or non-art supplies. The materials for this will be the responsible of each student. Students are free to use materials they already have at home. The intent is not to spend a lot of money for the final project. If there is an issue financially, please message the teacher for alternative final project ideas that require no supplies, other than pen and paper or typing.

Hello. My name is Teacher Tanya.
Greetings,
I am Teacher Tanya, a dedicated educator with a rich personal and professional background.
In my personal life, I fulfill roles as a devoted wife, a mother to nine children, a grandmother to sixteen grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. Teaching, reading, and traveling in my RV are my passions.
Central to my philosophy is the belief that continuous learning is essential for personal growth. I advocate for acquiring new knowledge daily to enrich our lives. As an educator, I employ the 5 E's approach—Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate—while also emphasizing the importance of "Extend" in teaching.
Regarding my education and experience, I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Child Development and have pursued extensive coursework towards a Master's Degree in Education: Curriculum and Instruction. Additionally, I possess a Master's Degree in Business Administration. Call me crazy, but I am currently working on a Doctorate is Education: Organizational Leadership.
With fifteen years of experience owning and operating state-licensed and accredited preschool, childcare, and school-age centers, I have a solid foundation in education. I have, also, served as a substitute teacher for middle and high school students, including fulfilling long-term positions in core academic subjects.
Having dedicated over 25 years to working with children in both classroom settings and extracurricular activities, I have taught a diverse range of subjects such as English, Reading, History, Math, Science, and ESL, to students with diverse abilities.
I appreciate your time in reviewing my profile and consider it an honor. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to meet your child and your family.
Thank you.Reviews
