This is an ongoing class that covers one genre over 2 days each week, rotating genres each week of the month. We will work together to plan, organize, write, and edit personal narrative, opinion, informational, and creative writing pieces. We will use songs/movement, visual anchor charts, and teacher modeling/directing to add visual, auditory, and kinesthetic modalities to the learning process. I keep my class size low for writing, so I can offer support appropriately. Here is what you can expect during each meeting: Day 1: We will learn the elements of the genre, we will complete our graphic organizer, we will begin with a strong topic sentence, and we will start on our body paragraphs. Day 2: We will complete our body paragraphs and end our story with a closing sentence; we will revise and edit, focusing on capital letters, punctuation, and finger spaces; we will add illustrations that match our words; and we will practice listening and speaking skills as we share our writing with our friends. This is an ongoing class, so students are welcome to join at the beginning of any week, but they will need to be present for each class within that given week in order to work through the two-day writing process fully. Here is a schedule of what will be covered each week: Week of August 19th: {INFORMATIONAL} All About the Ocean Week of August 26th: {CREATIVE} Create a New Holiday Week of September 2nd: {NARRATIVE} My First Day of School Week of September 9th: {OPINION} The Best Pet Week of September 16th: {INFORMATIONAL} All About Apples Week of September 23rd: {CREATIVE} Invent a New Subject Week of September 30th: {NARRATIVE} Fall Fun Week of October 7th: {OPINION} The Best Candy Week of October 14th: {INFORMATIONAL} All About Spiders Week of October 21st: {CREATIVE} A Magic Pumpkin Week of October 28th: {NARRATIVE} A Family Gathering Week of November 4th: {OPINION} Turkey Disguise Week of November 11th: {INFORMATIONAL} All About Owls Week of November 18th: {CREATIVE} Thanksgiving Roll-A-Story Week of November 25th: {CREATIVE} Thanksgiving Roll-A-Story Week of December 2nd: {NARRATIVE} My Favorite Gift Week of December 9th: {OPINION} The Best Holiday Week of December 16th: {INFORMATIONAL} All About Igloos Week of December 23rd: **QUARTERLY BREAK** Week of December 30th: {CREATIVE} My Trip to the North Pole

Teacher expertise and credentials
North Carolina Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Master's Degree in Education from National University
Hi...I’m Kristin! I have been in education for the past 25 years, ranging from early childhood through upper elementary school! My Bachelor’s Degree is in Child Development, with a minor in Music; and I hold a Master’s Degree/Teaching Credential in Cross-Cultural Teaching. At this point in my career, I have worked as a lead elementary school teacher in both fourth and first grades, training and leading a team of teachers in creating engaging, developmentally-appropriate curriculum utilizing active learning strategies and differentiated instruction to meet the needs of our diverse learning community. I also function as a mentor to new teachers, and often present on innovative teaching strategies, including promoting student engagement within the classroom through incorporating the Multiple Intelligences, helping to create a growth mindset, and establishing positive and trusting classroom management strategies.
English/Language Arts is my absolute favorite subject to teach, and I love incorporating phonics and writing strategies! Within early elementary school, there is such a range in students’ feelings/abilities, and small groups offer the perfect opportunity to develop the reluctant learner, and also to challenge the learner who is looking for deeper enrichment opportunities! I look forward to helping your learner grow and succeed in their writing abilities!
