Beginner Level
This is a self-paced, play-based STEAM class. There are no live meetings with the teacher. Students will gain key science knowledge through making projects with modeling dough or clay. Each unit includes a playlist of three instructional videos. The first video will provide an engaging lesson about the instructional topic. The second video will include step-by-step instructions to help the learner create a modeling dough or clay project about the lesson subject. The final video will include a poem and song about the lesson topic, along with a review activity to help the learner recall essential information about the science theme. Students will interact with the teacher in several ways during each unit. At the end of video #1, the teacher will pose a learning challenge question. Students may upload a brief video clip or photo of their answer to the learning challenge. After the learner completes his modeling dough or clay project during video #2, the learner may upload a photo and description of his project, or a brief video clip about the project. Finally, after video #3, learners may upload a video of themselves singing the lesson song, reciting the lesson poem, or telling their favorite aspect of the lesson topic. Since the majority of students in this class will likely be non-readers, the teacher will respond to student interaction primarily through short video clips.

Hello! I am excited to meet you on the Outschool platform! I have been an Elementary & Middle School teacher since 2002. I have been teaching ESL online since January of 2020. I enjoy teaching learners of all ages and abilities. I believe that children learn best through play, fun and engaging activities, and hands-on exposure to the wonders of the world around them.
I teach the following types of classes:
*Conversation and Phonics/Reading for ESL learners
*Public Speaking
*Creative Writing
*Play-based Science classes for preschool and elementary learners based on the National Science Education Standards (NSES).
I am a grandmother to four precious grandchildren, including one beautiful girl with Down Syndrome. When I'm not playing in the online classroom, you will most likely find me playing with one of them! I can't wait to see you in my classroom!Reviews
