In this class, students will learn all about editing their own writing. Editing is often a part of the writing process that is overlooked and needs to be explicitly taught, especially to our early writers. We will be engaging in discussion, acting as detectives, spotting errors, and applying our knowledge in our own writing samples towards the end of class. Students will learn the term "editing" and what that means and what it looks like to edit. We will be discussing and exploring things that are important in our writing: starting our sentences with a capital letter, capitalizing proper nouns, leaving spaces between our words, spelling errors, and ending our sentences with proper punctuation. I will walk students through some examples and we will practice fixing them. Whenever your child is finished with their writing, they can refer back to their very own writer's checklist to edit their writing. I encourage your child to glue or hang this writer's checklist up in a special place in your home so that they can refer back to it anytime! I will scaffold for learners if needed and provide sentence starters when it is time to write. Students will be allowed to share their writing at the end of class if they would like to. Students should have knowledge of letter sounds and some conventions of writing (left to right). We will be using some inventive spelling strategies throughout class and I will encourage your child to write the sounds they hear! I hope to teach your child something new they might not know about writing, and encourage the use of a writer's checklist from here on out.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Oklahoma Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hello! My name is Mrs. Chelsie T! I am so excited to welcome you into my classroom. I am a certified Early Childhood teacher that specializes in ages birth-12. I have a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and a minor in Business Administration. I have been a passionate teacher for the past 10 years in the classroom teaching all subjects. In 2021, I was even selected as a top five excellent educator in my school district and was in the running for district teacher of the year. I truly love my job and it brings me so much joy!
I specialize in teaching all facets of literacy including decoding/encoding (reading/writing), fluency, comprehension, and phonological awareness. I can help you pinpoint the exact skills your child needs to progress in their reading journey using diagnostics in one on one classes. I have been to various teacher trainings that have helped me become the teacher I am today. These include: Responsive Classroom training, LETRS training, Literacy First Training, Math Solutions training, and many more. My practice in teaching reading is informed by the Science Of Reading research that meets the needs of all learners.
In my classroom, I also love teaching math, writing, science, STEM, and social/emotional skills! Beyond the classroom, I have an additional 10 years of experience of caring for and teaching children in various settings. I believe building relationships with students is key and I can't wait to meet many of your children and build that strong bond with them! I am very passionate about the growth mindset and the power of YET! I believe every person can and will achieve their dreams with hard work, determination, the right mindset, and the right people in their corner. I want to be that person in your child's corner! Please let me know if I can be of service to your family. (:
