Class Experience

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! 
*Flexible age range*

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 (see the book list below). Students will be reading the books before class as we will not read any of the books during class.  We will spend two weeks on each chapter book in order to accomodate each learner's reading speed. I understand that everyone has different schedules and giving two weeks for each book allows everyone to have enough time. Each week we will be doing different activities that will complement the book. 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!
Our activities will include art projects, hands-on learning activities based on the week's topic (author's purpose, setting, characters, etc.), games, and more!


You can expect class to look something like this:

Welcome! Weekly updates and short discussion on the current book - 10-15 minutes
Reading comprehension activity - 15 minutes 
Art project, 2nd activity, and/or game- 15 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: 
Week 1 & 2- Mercy Watson to the Rescue by Katie DiCamillo -Focus: Parts of a story & Retelling a story 
Week 3&4- Flat Stanley: His Original Adventure by Jeff Brown -Focus: Characters & Conflict
Week 5&6-The Littles by John Peterson -Focus: Scenes & Order of events 
Week 7&8-Zoey and Sassafras: Dragons and Marshmallows by Asia Citro -Focus: Problem & Solution

Please let me know if you have any questions! If your student is not yet ready for chapter books, I have another class with picture/story books at the link below:

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.
