Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Mississippi State University
Saving my profile will allow you to receive 4th and 5th Grade Language Arts class listing updates.  I teach year-round with classes beginning mid-September, mid-January, and mid-May. 

Having taught for many years, I have learned the key to being a great educator is to, "Never Stop Learning!"  To that end, I am always making exciting discoveries that allow me to improve my knowledge and skills in a variety of areas.  Specifically,  I am passionate about Literature, Public Speaking, and Life Skills and truly believe that knowledge in these areas is particularly important to achieve a full and happy life.  

Through Outschool, My passion is to provide excellent Language Arts classes for 4th and 5th-grade students.  This is the time in a student's education when they move from learning to read to reading to learn.
I have now listed three age-appropriate classes per grade level.  These classes are specifically designed to provide your student with a fun, educational, and exciting way to grasp all of the 4th and 5th-grade ELA Common Core expectations.   
In the fall, your student may take either 4th or 5th-grade ELA (Semester One) courses.  In the spring (January), your student may take either 4th or 5th grade ELA (Semester Two).  In the summer, I'll be teaching my grade-specific eight-week Summer Reading and Writing Fun Courses. 

Graduating with a degree in K-8 education and completing an emphasis in Reading and Math for all levels, I have had the privilege to teach public, private, and homeschooled students in grades k-12.  Not only have I taught my three loves as listed above, but have enjoyed expanding my knowledge by teaching math, science, and history.  

I believe learning should be an adventure worth taking and must include both teacher and learner engaging together.  As a teacher, I am also a learner, and as a learner, your students are also teachers, by engaging together as a classroom of teachers and learners, my classes will work for a variety of learning styles including but not limited to the visual, auditory and tactile learning styles. 

When I'm not teaching, I'm walking, reading, sewing, cooking, watching baseball, and loving on my family.
