During each class, we will read one passage about animals and discuss it. The class will begin with a read of the article and then I will facilitate a discussion among the students. Students will learn through discussion and question prompts from me. We will also end each class playing a fun game asking questions about our reading. Questions will revolve around common core skills that all students should know. The skills that are taught in this course apply to all students even if they are not in a common core school. The skills may change and mix throughout the days depending on the needs of the class. Class 1 skill-- main idea and key details Class 2 skill-- explaining what happened in the text using key details and main idea Class 3 skill-- using informational text features (i.e. charts, pictures, maps) and explaining how they add to the text and help us better understand it Class 4 skill-- text structure Class 5 skill- comparing and contrasting texts

Hi there! I am so excited to be here and offering both technology courses and ELA themed courses. I have many great options coming to you as I build more classes.
I have been a teacher for 15 years and have taught from Kindergarten- 8th grade in public schools. In these experiences, I have taught all subjects but am the most energized and passionate about teaching ELA (reading, phonics, vocabulary, etc.). Additionally, I am a Microsoft Innovated Educator Trainer and have a lot of training and teaching experience with Microsoft. I have a master's degree in Learning and Technology.
My belief is that students who feel good learn best. Students who feel valued by their teacher and feel like they are an integral part of the class want to participate and engage in the materials. Building relationships is key to success.
Dogs make me so happy! We currently have four. They are always by my side and eager for all the love they can get. I have two amazing teenagers and a hard-working husband. I look forward to developing a relationship with you and your child!Reviews
