Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 7
******** Students may join this class at any time. There is no beginning or end.  The material in this class will repeat every 52 weeks*********

********Students should bring a pen or pencil and a spiral-bound notebook or looseleaf paper to class.***********

*****IMPORTANT:    Outschool does not require students to leave their camera on during class. (They must turn it on briefly at the beginning of class while attendance has checked, but after that they are allowed to turn the camera off. ) HOWEVER, I would like your student to leave their CAMERA ON during our class. It is difficult for me to check for their comprehension of what are discussing if I cannot see your student. When a student's camera is off and they do not reply to a question, I don't know if they're not answering because they have left the room, are not paying attention and are distracted, or if they simply don't understand and are thinking about how to answer. If their camera is on, it is much easier for me to assist them and make sure they are getting the most benefit from class. If you would like your students to have their camera turned off during class that is OK, but please let me know so I don't require them to turn it on.*******

*******I follow Outschool’s refund policy and don’t issue refunds for missed classes. Here is the link to more information about Outschool’s refund policy:

 In this class students will learn 5 Latin and/or Greek prefixes and suffixes each week. Through short lectures, games and activities students will learn the meaning of, and how to use, these prefixes and suffixes correctly.. 

Here is a tentative break down of the structure of each class:


1)  Students will learn the meanings of 5 prefixes, suffixes or roots. 
2)  Students will learn the origin of these prefixes and suffixes and roots.
3)  Students will write these and the definitions in their notebook.
4)  Students will learn to decipher the meaning of different words by looking at the prefixes and suffixes and roots.
5)  Students will complete activities using the prefixes and suffixes and roots.
6)  Students will be encouraged to use words with these prefixes and suffixes and roots in sentences.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Univerity of South Carolina
My name is Maria. I was born in South Carolina, USA. When I was 7 years old my family moved to Latin America. When I graduated from high school, I returned to the US to attend university  I have been married for 39 years and have 3 adult children and 6 grandchildren. 

I have a Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of South Carolina and have been a teacher for over 25 years.  Much of my teaching experience has been teaching reading. I have led children's book clubs and read aloud groups. I have taught reading comprehension and grammar, history and American Government to elementary and middle school students. I am bilingual and I have taught Spanish to children and adults for many years. I also have many years experience teaching ESL in person and online. 

I love to read. I also love to travel. I've been to the driest desert in the world and the southern most city on the globe. I've climbed a mountain in Central America where you can see both the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean,  and I have kissed the Blarney Stone.  I have done many exciting things. I have flown in a glider and a hot air balloon and I have parasailed. But I will never, EVER, bungee jump! 

Students in my classes will have fun while they work hard improving their academic skills. I have a lot of experience teaching children online, and I know how to keep students engaged in the lesson.  I am a patient teacher. Children matter. Their ideas and opinions matter, and their success matters. I want to hear what my students have to say.  I make sure they know I am proud of them.
