Each individual class is different and in the first class the teacher will give an assessment to gauge the sight words this particular class may be struggling to consistently read. The assessment will be hidden in a game, so as to not draw attention to any particular student if they do not know a word. 1. Each week the teacher will introduce new sight words that the students are not familiar with or are struggling to consistently read. 2. Each week the students will complete worksheets, read short stories, and poems, that the teacher will provide and correspond with the sight words being taught. The sight word lists that the teacher will be referring to for this class are the Dolch sight word lists. The teacher will also provide each student with flashcards to help students learn and retain the sight words. 3. The student will need a whiteboard, whiteboard marker, pencil, paper, and worksheets provided by the teacher for each class. 4. The students will engage with one another to create nonsense rhyming words using the CVC pattern as well as CVCe pattern---the CVC method will be used during week 3 and CVCe words week 6. **Each week worksheets short poems will be given worksheets to students to reinforce what is being taught in class. Some of the worksheets will be used in class and some of the worksheets will be given as homework. **Flashcards will be provided to students each week with the sight words of the week for extra practice at home.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Oklahoma Baptist University
I have significant experience teaching both elementary age children and teenagers. After receiving my teaching degree in Elementary Education I taught second grade in a brick and mortar classroom for 7 years. When I started my family I chose to quit teaching, but I was able to continue tutoring local students. When my children reached school age our family became a homeschool family. As a homeschool mom I have taught not only my children, but I have taught in local Co-op's. While teaching at home and in the Co-ops I created my own curriculum and also used a purchased curriculum. I tried to teach my classes in a way that would meet the academic objectives for each student, but also be interactive and fun. I have my TESOL and am confident in teaching in an online classroom as I have taught over 6800 online English as a Second Language classes to children 3-18. Another area of expertise I have is 35mm and digital photography and how to correctly preserve all of our photographs in proper scrapbooks with safe products for future generations. In this day and age most photos don't make it off of a person's phone, let alone into a scrapbook where people can actually enjoy and remember moments in their lives. As a homeschool teacher I facilitated students for 7 years in a yearbook class to create a digital yearbook for their peers and taught hundreds of women in gatherings around the country to preserve their pictures by properly placing them in safe albums using photo safe products. Based on my experience and my passion to teach, I am confident in my abilities to create a classroom environment that is inviting, educational, fun, and interactive, whether I have one student or multiple students. I am looking forward to meeting your student and helping them engage in a class that will guide them in learning new skills, as well as build confidence and facilitate independent learning. Reviews
