Hello Readers! ( This class is by invitation only. If you would like to join and do not have an invitation, please send me a message.) In this class we will meet and begin reading chapter books! The chapter book will be listed in the classroom so you can purchase before class begins. You can also message me to find out what the chapter book will be. In class, we will take turns reading, stopping to jot notes on sticky notes and share our thoughts. Readers will learn how to utilize sticky notes to stop and jot their thoughts. Throughout the length of the class, we will discuss character development, problem and solution, identifying big ideas, practicing to stop and jot, and taking turns to share opinions. When we finish the book, we will do an activity to draw the story parts. Sample questions that I will ask to lead discussion: -What is happening now? -How has the character changed? -What is the character feeling? -What did we learn from her actions? -What is the most important information on this page? -How did they solve their problem? Class Structure 3 min greetings 4 min review of story 2 min storyboard 15 min group reading 5 min stop and jot 6 min review and close Depending on the length of the story, I may have students read some of the story for homework after class. Each class I will give a short homework assignment after class. The assignment may be finishing the chapter, making a readers note, answering a short comprehension question, or drawing a part of the story. All activities will support comprehension. My teaching style for this class has direction and structure but I also teach in the moment and take the time to teach non-scripted moments that may come up within the story or questions students may have. I am so excited you are ready for chapter books! ***The Two Chapter Book Series Used: Katie Woo by Fran Manushkin Hey Jack! by Sally Rippin The exact book from the series is chosen by reading/lexile level based on teacher's knowledge of current students.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I am a certified Elementary teacher and Education Specialist. I have taught Kindergarten through 4th grades. I have been a classroom teacher, intervention teacher, online ESL teacher, and a Director of Special Education.
I am joining this platform to reach the needs of students around the world. I have been told I am sweet, caring, supportive, and scaffold lessons to the needs of my students. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your child. I will be offering several types of courses on Outschool. Please message me if you would like a personalized class to work directly with your child whether is be a reading fundamentals, book sharing, tutoring class, multi-sensory reading instruction, IEP support, or instruction with various IEP goals. I can even offer academic assessments on request.
I pride myself on meeting the needs of the students and parents. I work to engage, excite, and develop the minds of all types of learners. I teach to curriculum standards and use research based reading resources. For intensive reading intervention, I offer multi sensory instruction which can benefit all types of learners including dyslexia and other reading struggles. For reading fundamentals and Kindergarten reading classes, I base it of the workshop model of Lucy Calkins. We will do read alouds, learn story parts, poetry, phonics, sight words and rhyming. But most importantly, we will develop your child's love for reading!!
I grew up in sunny San Diego but now live in Coeur D' Alene, Idaho. You would often find me playing with my children at the park, doing hot yoga, or trying to figure out something healthy to make for dinner. It can be a difficult balance to create a great learning environment for your children especially in current times. Let me help support your children's love for learning!
Thank you for your time.
Best Wishes,
