Class Experience

In this one time class, learners will work with shamrocks, pots of gold, and rainbows to show types of patterns.  We will look at several examples of patterns and figure out what would come next in each pattern.  We will talk about naming the patterns and will use labels like AB, AAB, AABB and ABB.  Learners will complete and make patterns of their own using shamrocks and coins.  We will also complete a worksheet together to work on patterns.  Learners will be encouraged to make a variety of their own patterns.

Teacher expertise and credentials

Hi, I am Theresa Purdy.  I am excited to teach about animals, science, math, language arts, kindergarten / 1st grade readiness, and conduct science and art experiments.   Photography and scrapbooking are my most passionate hobbies.  While I was my daughter's Brownie troop leader and my son's Cub Scout leader, I kept them busy with crafts, discussions, experiments and exploration.  

I received my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Murray State University and a master’s degree in Elementary Education from University of Southern University.  I taught 4th grade for 14 years, preschool for 4 years and was a kindergarten assistant for 5 years. I have two sons and a daughter.

 I learn best by doing, so I want to be able to teach children facts but also give them opportunities to practice as much as possible.   Building foundational skills is essential so that children feel confident and successful as they move on to another year of school.  It is my passion to help children understand concepts, so they do not get frustrated or develop a negative attitude toward learning.   I look forward to seeing your child in my classroom!

You can find me teaching with Shooting Star Academy!
