US Grade Preschool
In this fun and engaging lesson on measurements students will learn early math concepts about the difference between heavy and light objects and how to differentiate between the two. The students will learn to explain how they know an objects weight is heavy or light using sentence frames and tactile supports. They will observe a variety of objects to illustrate the comparison of heavy vs. light. This class helps to build on the early foundations of the mathematical concepts of measurements for young learners. Some of the teaching methods used in this class are visual aids, repetition, and modeling. Students will have the opportunity to interact with classmates as they work together to learn their new skills, take turns, and encourage each other. This class will be taught in a fun, warm and engaging group discussion setting. No previous knowledge needed.

Hello! I’m Teacher Sheila.
I’ve been teaching both children and adults for over 20 years.
I have a Bachelors Degree in education, I’m TESOL certified and I’m homeschool certified as well.
I am currently teaching English online to children in China. I also offer classes in Common Core subjects Online in the US as well.
I have home schooled all five of my children, 4 have graduated 12th grade and I’m currently working with my last kid who will be starting High School this year.
I am so very passionate about teaching that I even spend much of my free time in volunteer work teaching others. My goal is to instill in my students a lifelong love of learning.
In fact I believe in learning so much that I am always involved continuing education myself, whether it be in foreign language, improving my teaching techniques and even weekly public speaking classes.
I believe I have a LOT to bring to the classroom and I’m EXCITED to begin on this journey in learning with you! I hope to see YOU in my classroom soon!
