This class will begin with a story called Ish. Students will interact with the story, discussing characters and the story plot. We will use some phoneme pictures to sort sounds focusing on the short i sound. Finally we will spend some time learning how to draw and paint a Squishmallow with watercolor paints. This painting will be a step by step guide for students to learn how to draw and paint a Squishmallow character. During the last 10 minutes of class, students will have additional time to work on their Squishmallow characters and talk about our favorite Squishmallows. During this time we will also have a gallery walk and show off our Squishmallows that we may have at home. This class focuses on phonics and phonemic awareness as well as art.
Learning Goals
Students will become stronger in hearing and making sounds through the use of exploring phonics in a fun engaging way. Students will learn how to use some new techniques using watercolor to create a fun painting of a Squishmallow.

My professional background includes over 10 years in the primary elementary grades as well as 20 years as a professional literacy coach for teachers and staff. My most recent years include parent engagement duties at the district level where I supported staff, students, and families. I believe that all children can learn and my own love of learning, reading, and literature comes through in all of my interactions with students and families. I believe that reading is the most important skill that a person can possess and I believe that the process should be fun and engaging. I am recently retired from 34 years of teaching and leading.
