Welcome to The Christmas Project: Math With Ms. B. Students won't even realize that they are reinforcing basic math skills like area, perimeter, converting measurements, money, fractions, doubling fractions, adding fractions, addition, subtraction and multiplication in this multiday class. This class is created for students to interact with teacher and peers. This is a super fun class designed for all students to feel welcomed and be successful along with practicing math skills. Prior to each class meeting students can download and print that classes worksheet along with a pencil to participate in this class. Understanding of the above math skills is needed in order to participate and feel successful. This is a multi-day class. It is important that all students come to class prepared with class materials such as a pencil and printable. If printing is not an option, please let me know, we can decide together how to support your learner (sharing screen of task and writing down answers). After each task, I help support students by feeling excited and proud of their work, I encourage all students to give themselves a smiley face or a star at the top of their paper. As a class we will take turns working on our math using my white board, helping each other and supporting peers. This class is a community, and we have a lot of fun working together.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! My name is Brienna. Students can call me Ms. B.
When the pandemic started, I knew right away that homeschooling was the journey our family would be taking. I have been homeschooling along with teaching. I began teaching when I was 18! I fell in love with teaching and showing students that they were Rockstars! (Reading Rockstar, Math Rockstar, Social Studies Rock Star). It was very important to me that learners felt that they were awesome and could rock any subject that was taught.
I have two amazing kids!! A Jr. in high school and a middle school learner. Our favorite things to do as a family is to travel and collect board games.
I am a huge advocate for special needs students. My son’s journey with Autism and ADHD taught me so much from learning about different therapies to IEP goals. I create classes so that all children with different abilities can participate and feel valued.
With my ten years’ experience, as a preschool teacher my passion is teaching children through engaging activities, while having fun. Prior to becoming a teacher, I was a private tutor for Kindergarten through 6th grade.
Currently I am working towards my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and becoming a certified Curriculum Specialist. With different classroom setting experiences I had the opportunity to focus on phonics, reading, sensory activities, science experience and history. Getting children excited about learning is what drives me every day.
I cannot wait to teach your children here at Outschool!Reviews
