Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 3
In this class, students will build essential foundational skills in order to identify, evaluate, and assign adjectives to their favorite Pokémon characters.  Students will leave this class with a solid understanding of one of the most essential parts-of-speech in the English language -- adjectives!  As an extension to this lesson, we will also explore the differences between adjectives and other parts of speech that students can often get confused.  We will use Pokémon characters as the basis of our study in order to brainstorm different ways in which we can describe these complex "creatures".  By developing a strong understanding of adjectives, students will unknowingly strengthen their descriptive writing skills in language arts and other subject areas. We will begin class with an informal discussion where students can share information about their favorite Pokémon characters.  This discussion will be followed by an interactive introduction to adjectives with an opportunity for students to practice matching descriptive words to pictures.  After we complete the interactive matching activity, we will extend our learning by describing our own Pokémon using adjectives.  We will end the lesson with an opportunity for students to voluntarily share their descriptions.

'If a child can’t learn the way we teach, 
maybe we should teach the way they learn.’ 
– Ignacio Estrada 

Hello!  My name is Jessica Ellis and I am a certified teacher in the state of Florida.  I am also the proud owner of my own private tutoring company, Ellis Academics LLC.  

I have a Master's Degree in Applied Behavior Analysis from National University, and I have a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from the University of South Florida.  I am certified in both Elementary Education and Exceptional (Special) Education. I also hold endorsements in Reading Education and English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). 

I have been a teacher for 8 years and I absolutely love what I do!  I have taught 3 years of first grade, 1 year of fourth grade, 2 years of fifth grade, and 2 years of special education K-5th grade. I also have experience in technology, as I served in the United States Navy as an Information Systems Technician.

In my classroom, both in-person and online, there is a direct focus on fostering meaningful discussions to help guide learning.  Students are encouraged to share their thoughts and discoveries while asking questions along the way.  Knowledge is power!

Outside of the classroom, I am a mom to three beautiful daughters named Iris, Lucy, and Faith.  We live in the state of Florida and love our beautiful beaches and warm weather. We are the proud owners of pet chickens, dogs, and cats.  Our favorite thing to do away from home is to go camping and enjoy nature.  

I hope to see you in class!
