In this once a week class the student will have the opportunity to meet new friends. Students will practice social skills in a group setting. Each week will be a different theme. Students will practice speaking, asking questions and participating in discussions that are student centered and age appropriate. This class is meant to be a time of fun and interaction for students with peers their age in a safe environment. I will facilitate the interactions between the students. Most kids are shy meeting new friends. This social club will allow them to practice meeting new friends and taking turns speaking. Many kids do not yet know what a question is or how to ask a question. This class will give them practice in higher level thinking by showing them how to ask questions and interact with a friend. I will use a variety of ways to encourage participation such as games, questions and my snowman Snowy. Snowy has a mailbox that I use in each of my classes to keep the kids excited and engaged in each lesson. My hope for this class is that students will be able to interact with peers their own age during a time in our history where many have not been able to socialize in a school setting in awhile. I hope they have fun meeting new friends and learning valuable life long skills of personal interaction at the same time.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in English Language and Literature from University of North Carolina at Wilmington
Hello and welcome to my profile! I have been a teacher with Outschool since 2020. I enjoy teaching students of all ages. Some of my specialties include preparing Pre-K children for Kindergarten both academically as well as socially. I also enjoy teaching ESL to students from all over the world. I enjoy making learning fun. My snowman Snowy engages the students each week with his mail that he sends to the children. Snowy is just one of the unique ways we have fun in class while learning. I truly believe that children need to have fun while learning in order for the concept to really sink in and be understood.
I graduated from UNCW with a Bachelor's Degree in English. After college I started my teaching career as a high school English teacher. I left the profession to raise my four children. I decided to return to my career and have enjoyed teaching many years as a Pre-K teacher.
I am also an online ESL ( English as a Second Language) teacher with VIPKid. I enjoy getting to know my students both in the United States and all over the world!
I love snow! This is something that the kids always seem to really enjoy. I love hearing the children laugh and seeing those precious smiles while we enjoy learning together. My husband and children love to travel. We enjoy camping all over the USA. I also have a black lab named Snowflake and a cat named Chloe. I hope to see your child in class soon!
