Updated for 2024/2025 School Year. This is an ongoing class that students can subscribe to and attend as much as desired. Each week the class meets on Monday and Wednesday from September - December. On the rare occasion when the teacher is unable to meet on Monday or Wednesday, a make-up class will be held on Friday of that same week. The class will give students the opportunity to meet with other students daily and to have meaningful interaction with them while practicing basic beginning phonics, reading and language arts skills taught in 2nd grade. The pace of the class keeps the students moving through several activities designed to highlight phonics skills, spelling words, grammar skills and reading comprehension. This will be an active class and students will be encouraged to participate and interact with classmates. Having permission to use the leveled reading stories from k5learning.com , this class will begin with Level I stories and work our way through Level J by the end of December.

Parental Guidance

k5learning has given permission for me to use their materials but I cannot sent parents a pdf file of the stories used in class. These stories can be accessed from their website k5learning.com without any membership fee. Parents will be sent the exact location of the stories at the time of registration. There is a small fee to download a file of 12 stories for each level. Once downloaded to the computer, parents can print them for their student to use in class and to reread the stories again with their parents for extra practice.
Supply List
Students should always have a wipe off board, marker and eraser. Other materials may be needed at various times, but teacher will inform students of them in the class notes.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Bowling Green State University/ Ohio
I am Teacher Colleen and am a retired teacher with Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and Deaf Education. I was certified to teach in the states of Ohio and Florida. During my 40 years in education I had the opportunity to teach in public and private schools, homeschool some of my own children as well as teach American Sign Language at the college leveI. Most recently, I taught ESL through an online platform and worked as an intervention tutor at our local elementary school. My experience in the classroom and with my own children has taught me that all children learn differently. I will provide a classroom where all children can learn in a safe, friendly environment. You will find my classrooms to be very hands-on and child oriented. It is rewarding to see a child's face light up as they understand something new or see them glow with pride when they realize that they CAN do something that they didn't think they could do. I will be offering classes in Phonics/Reading for Levels 1-3, Math for Levels 1-3, Cursive writing, Science camps, Writing workshops, Math Facts Practice and ASL. I do offer a limited number of 1-1 tutoring slots, but try to focus on students that really need intervention to bring them up to grade level. I am the mom of 7 children and 8 wonderful grandchildren (with the 9th one arriving in March!). When I am not in the classroom you will find me spending time with my family and my German shepherd, Ellie.
