Does your learner struggle with their sight words, high frequency words, snap words, or English words in general. Does your learner know the CODE that corresponds to over 80% of the English language. Sight words do NOT need to only be memorized, but rather learners need to learn the code to sound the words out! In this one- time class, learners will learn how to listen to, sound out, blend, read, spell and use 5 sight words using the interactive format, Nearpod. Each section of this course will include 5 sight words, ((words can vary from week to week)) embedded within a fun story to keep learners engaged. Learners will always listen to the sounds in the word first. We practice making the sounds and blending the sounds together. Learners will practice reading the word, while tracing the letters in the word for spelling. Learners will make notes of special parts of the words, such as digraphs, blends or phonics rules that may apply. These lessons will include a story with our favorite characters. Learns will practice identifying and reading/listening to the word in a sentence within the story. For extension, learners will practice identifying other words that may have similarities to our focus word, such as beginning or ending sounds. Learners will follow along with the teacher's modeling through the Nearpod lesson. Learners will participate in various games after learning the focus words. Learners will play matching games with the words and also a "racing" game at the end of the lesson. Learners will have many opportunities to speak, read and write the focus sight words of each class. Here is a list of focus words for each week. Words will change weekly.... (words are subject to change slightly each week) Week of.... Sept 27: word, witch, his, name, play Oct 4: small, after, men, said, even Oct 11: set, found, us, turn, girl Oct 18: food, city, stop, then, move Oct 25: when, who, point, right, mile Nov 1: where, see, need, sound, enough Nov 8: than, day, show, went, along Nov 15: two, long, back, great, never Nov 22: No Classes Nov 29: people, find, off, spell, soon Dec 6: number, made, follow, years, began Dec 13: could, that, boy, think, river Dec 20: No Classes Dec 27: No Classes During each lesson, learners will focus on the spelling of these words. We will discuss how to use these words in sentences verbally to check for understanding of the word's meaning.
Learning Goals
Learners will acquire new sight words with each lesson to build their reading and writing skills. The more fluent leaners are in their sight word acquisition, the more fluent and independent they are able to read.

Teacher expertise and credentials
My name is Victoria. I am a certified teacher! I have been in education for 8 years. 6 years in the classroom and the last 2 years also online. I love teaching, and have experience working with students from first grade through the high school level. I am currently teaching in high school with students learning English as a new language.
I have a bachelors degree in Elementary Education, and a masters degree in Curriculum and instruction from UNLV. I love working and creating curriculum for my students that best meets their needs.
I live in New York, near Niagara Falls, but I am from Las Vegas. I have experience owning a small business. I am also involved in sports and have taught dance classes. I love baking, planning parties and my favorite color is pink, blush pink though, not bright pink!
I have a 2-year-old boy, Noah and a husband in law enforcement. And I cant forget to mention my 2 pups, Lola and Phoenix.
I have a lot of experience working with students in a small group setting. A lot of my time and experience teaching has been focused on creating curriculum that meets student’s individual needs. I love creating new ways to make curriculum accessible to students.
I think learning should be fun, engaging and a little messy! Students should be provided with as many opportunities as possible to engage and learn. I think the best way to learn is to teach. That is why, in my classroom, you will see ample time for students to share their own thoughts, ideas and projects. I follow an “I Do.. You Watch, You Try... I Help, You Do.. I Watch” teaching model. That means, first, I show you and model. Then, we do it together. After students have the opportunity to try themselves… It looks a little something like this…..
My classroom will provide a safe space for students to feel comfortable to share what they have learned, teach other students something they know and have fun. My goal is for students to feel comfortable in the classroom, which in turns, teaches them to try their best.
You will see lessons aligned with the Common Core curriculum. I have worked with Common Core throughout my entire teaching experience, so if there is a specific standard you would like us to focus on, I can absolutely provide that for your student.
I love incorporating technology in the classroom. You might see classes using the app, Nearpod. This is a fun, interactive app that allows students to play games, and have hands-on experiences with their lessons!
My hope is to create a loving, engaging and exciting community for you and your learner. I hope to see you and your learner in the classroom.
