SUMMER BREAK SESSION

In this summer novel studies class we will be reading two novels. The first novel will be A Wrinkle in Time by Time by Madeleine L’Engle. The second novel will be Turtle Boy by M. Evan Wolkenstein. 

During class we will engage in discussions about retelling content, identifying themes, deconstructing characters, making inferences and predictions, vocabulary skills, as well as practicing visualization. 

In order to accomplish our summer comprehension goals, students will have in-between class assignments for reading specific chapters. There is also an optional (parent approved) set of comprehension questions to be answered in writing between classes.  All students, whether writing out answers or not will have a set of questions to review between classes. This will allow us to dive deeper into our class discussions.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Utah Teaching Certificate in Special Education
Master's Degree in Education from Florida State University
I have a master’s degree though the department of education and have been teaching and working with students for the past 20+ years.  I am a licensed K-12 special education teacher and was also the academic achievement specialist at my previous in-person school to make sure that all regular education K-8 students were making adequate progress in their academic studies each year. Prior to that I was a therapist for kids ages 5-17 who struggled with behaviors at home and at school.  

Throughout my experiences as an art therapist and then as a special education teacher, I have seen that children learn best when engaged in hands-on acitivities. They tend to retain information much more effectively when enaged in active learning. Besides learning the class standards, one of the other focuses for students in this class will be on actively participating.
