US Grade Kindergarten - 1
In this one time, interactive class, students will enjoy the charming story of Spork! Through this heartwarming text, learners will have the opportunity to practice the skill of making connections to the text. We will use the comparison image of links in a chain to illustrate this reading strategy. Learners will learn about how we can make connections to a text in the following ways: text to self, text to text and text to world. After giving some examples, we will use use the text Spork to fill out an organizer demonstrating this skill. As an extension activity, your student will be able to color and customize their own printable spork! Some experience with reading and would be helpful for this class, but is not necessary. Please join me in this fun and engaging class about belonging! See you in the classroom. Ms. Kristi :)
Learning Goals
Students will improve their understanding of the reading strategy of making connections, through reading the text “Spork“ and participating in student centered activities.

Supply List
Three printable handouts for this class will be posted in the classroom the day before class. Learners will need a pencil and any other coloring items they would use for their own Spork.

Hello! I am so excited to teach your kiddos on Outschool! I have a degree in Elementary Education and have been teaching over 25 years. I also have a specialty Montessori certificate in grades 1-3, and a TESOL certification credential. For nine years I specialized as a learning Title I learning support teacher with a focus in reading and writing in the language arts curriculum with 5-9 year olds. I have taught 1st and 2nd grade in a Montessori classroom. I love helping children learn to read by teaching the fundamental skills of early reading, grammar, reading comprehension and writing. I also teach many cultures themed lessons for learners where we can enjoy exploring topics of our planet and space together!
I love to help children learn and be successful in the classroom through fun and engaging activities. I like to make classes challenging and rewarding for students, and I have a very student centered approach, which is aligned with the Montessori teaching philosophy. I think of myself as a guide, who always strives to meet children at their instructional level.
Outside of teaching, I am a mother of adult boy/girl twins. My husband and I have a senior rescue terrier named Sandy and we love to go for long walks. I also enjoy living a very healthy lifestyle which includes walking, hiking, yoga, running and enjoying nature whenever possible!
Thank you for taking the time to find out more about me. I hope to see your child in the classroom soon!
