Are you looking for a reading comprehension course with little writing and lots of fun? Let's make reading so fun that you want to JUMP out of your seat! *Grab $10 off this interactive course using code GIVENJUMPREAD10 This class will have your learner wanting to read and discuss the books. At the start of the course, students will be given a list of the books that will be needed. Students will be reading the books before class as we will not read any of the books during class. Please see the list below. Students can read the book any way that works best for them; with a parent, having a parent read to them, silent reading, or with siblings or friends! You can expect class to look something like this: Welcome! Weekly updates and opinions on the current book - 10-15 minutes Game or reading comprehension activity - 10 minutes Art project, 2nd activity, or experiment - 20 minutes Times may vary and all activities tie into the book of the week. If students are not able to finish something, they are more than welcome to finish after class and post in the comments or share at the beginning of the next class. Book list: 1/5- The Carpenter's Helper by: Sybil Rosen - Focus: Parts of a story 1/12- Ten Beautiful Things by: Molly Beth Griffin- Focus: Characters 1/26-Bird Boy by: Matthew Burgess- Focus: Setting 2/2-Truman by: Jean Reidy- Focus: Plot and reflection 2/9-Norman: One Amazing Goldfish by: Kelly Bennett- Focus: Author's purpose 2/16-The Ways to Hear Snow by: Kathy Camper - Focus: Adjectives and other descriptive words 2/23 -Sylvester and the Magic Pebble by: William Steig - Focus: Plot 3/2-The Dragonsitter (learners will read as much as they can within the week) by: Josh Lacey - Focus: Problem and solution

Hi! My name is Kristi and I am so happy you ventured over to my science learning lab!
My goal is for students to have fun, maybe get messy, and gain a love for science! My teaching style is interactive and hands-on as I try to bring science to life. My classes work well for the kinesthetic learner.
You will find that most of my classes have a hands-on component to complement the learning experience and my presentations are very visual.
I do my very best to keep prices lower than average as I understand how quickly classes add up for parents. Keeping the prices lower also helps parents as there are material lists for experiments and activities. However, almost every class that I have has a coupon! Please reach out if you need assistance.
When I am not teaching I love to spend time with my daughter outside, gardening, raising chicks, and learning new skills. My goal is to combine some of my hobbies while teaching.
I have been teaching environmental science to students in pre-k through 12th grade for over 12 years. I have taught in various settings including outdoors, in classrooms, and online. I currently run my own business developing and delivering science lessons and custom curriculums to students in school settings, early learning centers, scouts, libraries, and more! I received my B.A.s in Environmental Science and Sociology in 2016 and my M.S. in Resilient and Sustainable Communities in 2019.Reviews
