In this class, students will be using clothespins to make place settings for the Thanksgiving table. They will be free-drawing pumpkins and turkeys made out of construction paper and gluing them onto the clothespins. They will label the pumpkins and turkeys with the names of the members of their family for the special dinner table. As students draw and cut their pumpkins and turkeys, they will take turns discussing what they are thankful for. Students will not be using patterns as I find it more valuable that they create their own unique designs. We will also be listening to some old and traditional Thanksgiving songs.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I am a fun, energetic and very positive human being. I am of Colombian descent and I'm fluent in Spanish. Ever since I was a little girl all I could think of was to become a teacher. Thanks to my amazing parents and their sacrifices, they made my dream come true and I received my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from Florida International University. I'm also certified in ESOL, Special Education, and World Languages-Spanish. I taught Spanish, Math, Science, Reading/Language Arts, and Social Studies to grades 1-5 for 20 years. I also taught Spanish levels 1-4 in high school for two years. I love teaching children so much, that I also teach English to students in China through VIPKid.
I feel that it is so important to reach all types of learners, which is why in my classes I'll have my students sing songs, play games, draw, and dance. That's how I also taught my older students in high school and they were very successful at learning Spanish. I also believe it's crucial to have high expectations of your students. Let them know that you believe in them, and that they can achieve anything they put their mind to.
I believe learning other languages is so important and being bilingual or even multilingual is so crucial in today's world. My first teaching opportunity was given to me because I was fluent in Spanish. I want to share that with other learners, and share a love of another language. That's why in my classes, to start off, I'll be teaching the colors, then continue with other basics such as ABCs, numbers, feelings/emotions, days of the week, and months of the year. As for me, I've been learning Italian for the past year and a half.
My husband and I own a handyman business where we build decks, porches, put up fences, paint, plant gardens, etc. It's hard work, but we are proud of how we grew our business from the ground up. Nothing that comes easy is worth having. I try to explain that and be a role model to my 13 year old daughter. As much as it sounds like a cliché, hard work pays off.
I'm so excited to see your child in class. Adios!Reviews
