Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 6
The class will take an in depth look at different spelling rules and spelling patterns in the English language.  The students will learn by practicing the words and a spelling bee at the end of class.  The first 5 minutes will be practicing and learning the rule for the week.  The last 20 minutes will be a spelling bee type game where each student will be asked to spell the words we learned.  I will provide the words to practice before class.  I will also provide links to other games to reinforce what is learned in class at home. 

Background Knowledge:  The students need to be reading at a third grade level or higher.  The spelling words will be at a 4th and 5th grade level.


Thu, Sep 21 - prefixes
Thu, Sep 28 suffixes
Thu, Oct 5 - homophones
Thu, Oct 12 - compound words 

The learners will be evaluated by writing and reciting spelling words.  At the end, the learners will participate in a spelling game to test their knowledge.  It will be a fun, low pressure game to allow learners to practice spelling.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Kansas Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Northwest Missouri State University
Hello!  My name is Kellie.  I have over 15 years of experience teaching students in a variety of settings.
 I have continued to expand my teaching experience and explore new areas of interest. I have taught students of various ages and backgrounds, both in traditional classroom settings and online platforms.

I strive to create engaging and interactive lessons that cater to each student's unique learning style, fostering their confidence and love for learning.

In terms of my qualifications, I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Early Childhood and a Reading Endorsement. My passion lies in teaching foundational skills, particularly in reading. I firmly believe that every student has the potential to learn, but it's important to recognize and accommodate their individual learning needs and pace. In my classes, I provide multiple approaches to learning a concept, ensuring that each student has the opportunity to grasp it in a way that resonates with them.

Beyond my teaching experience, I have a diverse background in agriculture and farming. My husband and I are actively involved in raising quarter horses for working cow horse competitions. I find joy in merging my love for agriculture with my teaching endeavors, incorporating elements of farm life and nature into my lessons. It's a unique way to engage students and broaden their understanding of the world around them.

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I'm excited to connect with more learners and families, and I look forward to the opportunity to inspire a love for learning in your child.
