Class Experience

In this ongoing class, students will learn to identify syllables using movement, speech, and writing for words that have 3 syllables.

Students will use movement, speech, and writing to learn to break words into syllables, and use that information to spell those words correctly.

This class will utilize a soft or plush ball or stuffed animal that students are able to hold easily with one hand.  Students should be able to toss and catch balls most of the time.

Prerequisites include:
-The ability to read at a second grade level.
-The ability to write letters to create a word by copying the displayed word.
-The ability to follow directions.
-The ability to catch a small ball.

Students will have the opportunity to interact with each other and the teacher throughout the class, as well as completing individual tasks.  This class incorporates movement, speaking, and writing to help solidify what is being learned in a fun and engaging way.

Teacher expertise and credentials

Hello!  Thank you for sharing this time with me!  My name is Mrs. Bloom, and I love teaching kids!  My goal is to allow my students to experience learning hands on, and to encourage them to think and express themselves in a positive way.  With over 23 years of experience working with kids in multiple capacities, including volunteering at camps, running kids programs, working as a teacher, and raising and homeschooling my own child, I have a huge variety of experiences from which I can pull to create fun and engaging classes for my students!  Since we are expected to integrate information from multiple areas when we approach a problem in real life, my classes are taught from this interdisciplinary perspective.  This allows students to ask questions, explore, and discover information that is interesting and relevant, motivating them to become lifelong learners.  I can't wait for you to join me as we enjoy the art of learning!
