In this 6 week class students will explore different genres of writing and how to be strong writers. They will use an outline to form their writing and turn their thoughts into strong paragraphs with topic sentences, details, and conclusions. They will learn about introduction paragraphs, bodies, and concluding paragraphs. I encourage participation. My classes are very structured. We will begin by going over the topic, I will explain the outline for the writing piece, students will fill in their outline and then I will show them how to turn that into strong paragraphs to form their writing piece. I will do this step by step. We will share at the end of day 2 if time allows.

Teacher expertise and credentials
New York Teaching Certificate in English/Language Arts
I teach a variety of different classes geared toward elementary students ages 3 and up. My classes include ELA, Math, Writing, Phonics, Stories, teaching beginner, intermediate and advanced readers, simple to complex sentences, and much more. I love student participation and encourage it in all my class.
I have 16 years of teaching experience. I teach 4th grade ELA in a public school in NYS and have been teaching for 4 years on Outschool. I have a Masters in Elementary Education, Bachelors in History, Associates in Business. I have taught Pre-k, K, and ESL online. I have taught all subjects. Over my 16 years of teaching, I have gone to many different trainings in ELA, math, behavioral and I am trained in Logics by Ortan Gillingham and currently training and using restorative practices.
I believe every child can learn but not all through the same method. Learning needs to be fun and engaging and needs to be a memorable experience for students to truly understand it.
I am a mom to five wonderful kids ages 6-12. They keep me busy and I love being their number one teacher!
Class Expectations
1. Be on time and be prepared. Please read class material section for proper materials.
2. Class will go the full length of the time unless their is a small number of students, then it may be a little shorter (usually only five minutes)
3. I like to engage my students through different activities and discussion, if a student doesn't want to participate that is fine, but I will encourage it.
4. You must turn your camera on at the beginning of class.Reviews
