In this class, we will be reading through the Junie B Jones book series by Barbara Park.  Junie B. is a hilarious five year old just starting kindergarten that you cannot help but fall in love with!!  Learners will be laughing through each chapter book at Junie B and her crazy antics.

Each week, students will read a new chapter book.  (This series has sold over 65 million copies and can be found at any local library due to their vast popularity.)  During our class time, we will discuss the book and will practice the following concepts:

* reading comprehension
* making inferences
* cause and effect
* text connections
* characterization

Also, each week during class, students will be given a short writing activity to do in class that correlates with the book.  As we do these writing assignments, we will work on:
* writing complete sentences

Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

My name is Jennifer Dodge, but my students call me Mrs. Jen.  I am a certified early childhood teacher with a B.S in Early Childhood Education and a minor in music from Samford University.  I have spent 15 years in the classroom teaching preschool, kindergarten, and language arts to first through seventh graders.  For the past eleven years, I have had the awesome privilege of homeschooling my own three children who are now ages 23, 21, and 18.  Currently, I teach kindergarten in a private school .

I am excited to help students learn to read and LOVE to read through hands on activities so that they will become lifelong learners!  You will find that many of my classes are geared toward developing reading skills, novel studies, and hands-on book clubs, and book clubs that center around historical fiction so that we can take a deep dive into the historical aspect of the novel.  I also love to teach preschool and kindergarten aged children, so I will also be providing classes that involve practice with fine and large motor skills, music and movement, and beginning reading, math, and science skills so that my students will be ready for school.

As a former homeschool mom, I also look forward to being able to provide classes that support other homeschool moms.  If there is an area where their child needs extra enrichment or assistance, or if there is a subject that a mom just simply hates to teach, I would LOVE to partner with her in the homeschooling of her children.  

I believe that learning to read and write NEVER has to be boring!  I teach my classes with great enthusiasm so that my students will see my love for the subject.  I hope this joy will come through the Zoom call and our classroom activities so that they will be excited to read and write as well.  Reading and writing is a skill that every person will need throughout their lifetime.  It is my goal as a teacher to make the learning of these skill enjoyable and exciting.

I look forward to having the opportunity to teach your child!
