Class Experience
US Grade Kindergarten - 4
“If you don’t use it, you’ll lose it.” Sadly this is true about reading. Typically, children who don’t read over the summer will regress and their hard-earned reading skills will decline. Hopefully, with my help, your child will even improve in reading this summer. Show, Share and Summer Readin' With Teacher Cindy Summer is a 45-minute, 1:1 reading program that meets three times a week with an extra bit of pizaaz with a 5 minute Show and Share/ Show and Tell. I believe that finding the "Just Right Book", exercising reading strategies and keeping a constant schedule is necessary for reading success. My plan is to develop a friendly, teacher relationship with your child. Hence, getting to know your child's interests, preferred superhero/ princess, favorite food/ movie/ animals/ color, previous travels etc. can give me a head start. I hope to establish a good foundation early on so we can dive into our virtual library. There are plenty of online books so if there is a book your child wants to read, please share it with me on ZOOM. If not, I will always be ready with an appropriately levelled book to share with your child. I will try my best to match his/her interests and knowledge base. I am a compassionate and professional teacher with one ultimate goal for your child. I hope your child logs off from each class feeling confident, happy and satisfied with his/her reading time with me. I look forward to reading with your child! I hope you can build me into your family schedule this summer.
Learning Goals
In each class your child will...
1) Show and Share/ Show and Tell

Teacher expertise and credentials
Non-US Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hello from Canada! My name is Cindy. I am married and have two young children ages nine and seven. I am a certified teacher in Alberta and Ontario. I have a Masters Degree in Distance Education from Athabasca University (Alberta, Canada) and a Bachelor Degree in Education from Concordia University of Edmonton (Alberta, Canada.) I have over ten years of teaching experience. I know all learners are unique and have different needs and abilities. As a professional teacher and mentor, I hope to instill confidence and ease student anxiety by providing opportunities for growth in writing and speaking. As an Outschool teacher, I will: 1) create a fun and safe environment for learning; 2) be present and mindful of ethnic culture and backgrounds; 3) assess students' strengths and hidden talents; 4) provide feedback for student growth; and 5) be accessible when students require my services.
