One-Time CLASS OVERVIEW

This one-time class is just one of the many fun, colorful lessons from the ongoing series "Phonics for Reading, Writing, and Spelling-Level D."  The full reading curriculum follows the adventures of two fun characters named Jojo and Jake and features all-original characters and stories taught but the author.

If you've been curious about what the series is like or would like to get a glimpse of how the class is structured, this is a great way to do that!  

This one-time class featuring the "ei" and "eigh" phonograms will take students on a fun holiday adventure with Jake.

EXPECTATIONS FOR IN CLASS SOUND QUALITY/MUTING

I will always encourage all students to participate in the class experience. 
My desire is to have all students unmuted for the entire class.  It creates an ease of interacting and answering questions without having to use time muting and unmuting.  In order for this to take place, it is important to have your student situated in a quiet place that is free from background noises such as televisions, radios, phone calls, or conversations.  Parents and siblings, please remember...the entire class can hear any conversation you are having in the room.

As the teacher, there are times that I will need to use the mute function.  If a student has background noise that may be distracting to other students, I will let them know they are being muted to help the sound quality. 

I realize that there are times when you may need to mute your own child for privacy reasons or due to unavoidable background noise, so please feel free to use your discretion in these circumstances.  Also, please show your child how to unmute him/herself when asked to do so.

Working together, we can attain great sound quality for all the students!

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
My name is Cherie Steele.  I am a graduate of  Penn State University, and I am trained in the teaching of Intensive Phonics.  I hold both TESOL and TEFL certifications.  In addition, I have a strong background in music, having completed 3 years of study in music and vocal performance at JDF Records in Nashville, TN.   I have twenty years of experience as a curriculum author and teacher.  I am also the mother of five fabulous kids, all of whom I have completely homeschooled.

For the past twenty years, one of my great loves has been teaching language arts.   Reading, writing, grammar, literature, and poetry are my passions.  From ensuring that young students have a firm foundation in phonics to training older students to become great writers, it is my goal to establish a love of language arts in children.   

I invite you to look over the parent reviews regarding the efficacy of the Phonics for Reading, Writing, and Spelling Curriculum and the teaching methods used in my classroom.    

Your student will feel right at home in my classroom.  I am a patient teacher, and I love to bring out smiles and a feeling of accomplishment.  My goal is simple...lay solid foundations and build upon them with quality material.   

I am excited to meet your student.  

See you in class!  :)

Ms. Cherie
