Class Experience

US Grade Kindergarten - 3
Creating plurals can be very confusing as there are many rules/guidelines, exceptions, and of course, irregulars.  My aim is to teach students regular and irregular plurals while injecting fun into the lessons.  We will explore and practice regular plurals looking at words that just need an 's', and words the need an 'es', learning to look for the endings of ch, sh, s, and x.  Irregular plurals that need letter changes (y to i, and f to v) will be examined as well.  Words that end in 'o', words that change, and words that don't change at all will all be looked at in this course.  Activities and games to practice what is taught will be used to help solidify the concepts as well as bring fun to learning.

Students can join at anytime as this is an ongoing course and each lesson can stand alone.   We will work our way through each lesson and once the cycle is done it begins again, ensuring that no matter when your student joins they will go through each lesson if they remain enrolled for at least 7 weeks.

Here are the lesson topics followed by a tentative schedule:
Regular Plurals -  When to add an 's' and when to add an 'es'.
Regular Plurals - Adding 'es' to words ending is 's', 'x', 'ch' and 'sh'.
Irregular Plurals - Changing y to i and adding 'es'.
Irregular Plurals - Changing f to v and adding 'es'.
Irregular Plurals - Words that change.
Irregular Plurals - Words that don't change.
Irregular Plurals - Words that end in 'o'.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Northwest Bible College (now Vanguard College)
Hello.  My name is Miss Connie and it is so nice to meet you.  Thank you for checking out my profile.

Teaching language to students is fun and challenging (we have so many exceptions to the rule).  Things such as letter names and sounds, consonant blends and digraphs, word recognition and blending, regular and irregular plurals, creating sentences using descriptive words, and so on, are rewarding to teach, because with all of these things comes growth in the ability to read, write and communicate.

I have always been fascinated by the uniqueness and diversity of animals.  They are so many cool and interesting ones out there.  Did you know that a blue whale’s tongue weighs more than the average elephant?  Or that butterflies taste with their feet?  I enjoy incorporating animals into my lessons when I can and hope to offer some classes soon on some specific animals.

I really enjoy working with kids and youth and feel privileged to have worked with them for over 25 years in various capacities including teaching in classroom settings, in community programs, in school assemblies, for homeschool organizations, at summer camps and retreats, at my church, and in online classrooms.  Kids and youth are amazing people, each with their own likes, dislikes, personalities, skills, etc.  It’s really is cool to meet each one and get to know them a little as we learn and grow.

Besides a love for teaching, I also love playing sports and games with my kids (especially basketball and dutch blitz), being creative with arts and crafts, and getting out in nature (beaches and mountains are both awesome!).

I look forward to meeting many amazing young people and hope to bring fun and excitement to the classroom as we learn and grow.
