Teacher Chelsea is very energetic, patient, and encouraging. She uses whiteboards, slides, props, and visuals to help students better understand the content. She will model concepts for students in her videos and then provide opportunities for students to practice what they learn at home and in classroom posts. 

Students will be encouraged to submit weekly videos of themselves reading the decodable reading passages, which can be shared with only the teacher or other students. Students will also be able to interact with other students by sharing pictures of their handwriting practice and reading practice videos. Students will finally be able to comment on other students' submissions, share what they enjoyed about the lesson that week, share what was hard for them and boost one another up by building a community of learners. Students will also have a weekly scavenger hunt game and will post their findings to the classroom.
