Class Experience

Welcome to my engaging and interactive early education class! In this online session, young learners will embark on a creative journey as they explore the world of poetry. Through reading captivating poems, students will not only develop their reading skills but also unleash their imagination by using playdough to bring the poem's topic to life. Join me for a fun-filled class where education meets creativity, and watch your child's love for learning grow! 

Getting creative with playdough and poetry is an enjoyable part of literacy. In this class, learners will enjoy listening and reading a variety of poems. New poems and new themes will be read aloud each week and students will be encouraged to enjoy, react, respond, and look at the literacy behind each poem. Following the poem, we will begin to create a playdough creation related to the poem's topic. 

No reading skills are necessary for this class and no previous exposure to poetry is necessary either. This class is an excellent way for students to enjoy poetry as well as learn literacy skills from poetry. We will talk about letters, letter sounds, rhyming words, sight words, and any other connections students may make in their learning. As each poem will become a familiar text for the students, they will be able to pull apart the letter, sounds, rhyming words, and so on. After being introduced to each poem, we will begin to create a playdough creation that is related to the poem. Students are welcome to use their creativity and show off their playdough creation at the end of class.
