All animal lovers are welcome to this one time class! We will begin our small group lesson with time to share about the pets we know and love in our lives. We will review short vowel sounds A and O using the words "cat" and "dog" for support. We will enjoy reading Bad Dog by Mike Boldt together and identify the words with short vowels in the text. While reading, we will stop to compare and contrast the typical behavior of cats and dogs while making connections to the pets we know. Last, we will use our knowledge of "cat" and "dog" to play a word game and build fluency with short vowel words. Students should have letter sound knowledge of most letters and beginning writing skills to fully engage in the class.
Learning Goals
Students will apply letter sound knowledge to read and write CVC words. Students will engage with text by comparing and contrasting animal characteristics and making connections to their own experiences.

Hello! My name is Emily Pereira and I am excited to teach your child. I had the pleasure of teaching first grade as a classroom teacher for five years before moving abroad to teach English as an Additional Language and Reading Support for two years in Santiago, Chile. After returning to Virginia, I taught kindergarten online and English as a Second Language to students in K-2 in public school.
I earned a bachelor's of science in Liberal Studies with a concentration in Elementary and Middle School Education from Longwood University in Farmville, VA. Additionally, I earned a Master's of Education in Reading from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, VA. I currently hold a Virginia Collegiate Professional teaching license with endorsements to teach Elementary pk-6, Middle School English 6-8, Reading Specialist K-12, and English as an Additional Language K-12. I recently completed a 30 hour comprehensive Orton-Gillingham course through the Institute for Multi-Sensory Education.
I love fun colorful children's books, cooking, my family, and dogs! I hope to see you in a class soon!Reviews
