US Grade Kindergarten - 2
In this ongoing class, learners will read one Ricky Ricotta's Mighty Robot book at home each week and then meet to chat about the book! This class is great for learners who are reading on their own or learners who are reading the book with a grown-up. We will talk about what we liked or didn't like. I will encourage students to respond to each other and discuss together! I will also ask a few comprehension questions and prompt the discussion as needed. In each class, we will do a short lesson or activity to match the topic of that week's book. We'll learn a little about the planets and animals that were featured in that week's book. Here's our schedule: Week of Apr 10 - Ricky Ricotta's Mighty Robot Week of Apr 17 - Ricky Ricotta's Mighty Robot Vs. the Mutant Mosquitoes From Mercury Week of Apr 24 & May 1 - Ricky Ricotta's Mighty Robot Vs. the Voodoo Vultures from Venus Week of May 8 - Ricky Ricotta's Mighty Robot Vs. the Mecha-Monkeys from Mars Week of May 15 - Ricky Ricotta's Mighty Robot Vs. the Jurassic Jackrabbits from Jupiter Week of May 22 - Ricky Ricotta's Mighty Robot Vs.

Hello! My name is Mrs. Clarissa. I am a mom of 5, a bookworm, and a certified, experienced in-person and online teacher. I believe in learning through fun and play! I love seeing my students learn and grow as they discover new things on their own. I believe that the most important part of school is learning how to learn and learning to love learning! Once those two goals are met, students can learn anything they want.
I have taught online classes for 6 years and have learned how to engage students virtually. It has been a wonderful experience and I love the opportunity to reach out to kids from all over the world and learn from each other!
I earned a degree in elementary education from Brigham Young University in 2009. My life has been dedicated to helping kids learn and grow.
I also LOVE books! There are bookcases in every room of my house and I wish I had more. I enjoy reading fantasy books and discussing them with my kids and my husband. We all especially love Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. I also enjoy reading with my littles. Our favorites are Elephant and Piggie and Mother Bruce.
