Each week we will come together to show our Pokémon cards, video game catches, drawings and even stuffies. As the teacher, I will guide the discussions, ask questions, encourage friendly conversation as well as ensuring that everyone who wants to talk gets a chance. Each week I will explain the class rules (1. Try not to talk over each other, 2. Always use kind language 3. Don't feel pressured to speak) Next we will open up the floor for students to take turns showing a Pokemon card or Pokemon related item (picture, stuffed animal, shirt, newest catches on Pokemon Go, etc.) Each person will be given a few minutes to present and then the other students will be given an opportunity to ask questions or give praise. Lastly, when time allows, I will also share! While all students will be encouraged to participate, nobody will be forced or made to feel bad about holding back. Students who are reluctant to speak are welcome to join as well!
Learning Goals
Through our conversations students will develop socioemotional skills such as:
• Self-control
• Expressing feelings with words
• Listening and paying attention
• Pride in accomplishments
• Positive self image
• Asking for help when needed
• Showing affection to familiar people
• Aware of other peoples feelings
• Making new friends
• Connecting with people from various cultures and locations around the world over similar interests
Presenting to the group will also give them an opportunity to practice effective public speaking skills.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I'm a homeschool mother of 5 who studied elementary education. I'm excited to bring my experience and knowledge to every class. My classes include a range of topics from Black History to Recycled Art to comparing books to the movies they've inspired and so much more! I enjoy seeing my students light up as they learn concepts and ideas that are new to them.
In my spare time, I enjoy reading, playing Pokemon with my kids and baking!
