Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 4
We will be discussing the differences between a proper noun and a common noun. I will share explanations and examples by white board, and power point.  My teaching style is patient and upbeat. I will give students a chance to answer questions about what we are learning. Learners will be able to interact with me, and time permitting, at the end we will play a game and award points for correctly identifying the differences between the two types of nouns. Also, if the student has any of their own examples, we can try those out together, time permitting. Learners can start with very little knowledge of the different nouns.

Learning Goals

Students will improve their understanding of the two types of nouns, proper and common.

Supply List
I have attached 2 sheets. We will work on them together in class. If you are not able to print them off, we will still be able to go over them in class. Some paper and a pencil, or a white board and dry erase pens would be very useful for this class.
 2 files available upon enrollment
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I teach Reading, Grammar, History and have: taught full-time, and worked as a substitute teaching many different subjects in classes from Kinder to 12th grade. My majors in college ranged from Child Development, to Theater Arts, to English, and an additional History minor. In addition to teaching I am a published author. My philosophy of teaching is that we are all life-long learners and we never stop learning. To that end, every lesson should fun and enjoyable, while teaching, and/or learning, something new. The students should have fun while they learn, as that's the way we learn the most.
