Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
In this ongoing book club, we will explore, The Land of Stories series. This class is to provide a social opportunity and increase reading comprehension. Each week we will be focusing on a set of chapters from a particular book. We will not be discussing any chapters outside of those. This means you can join at anytime! As we discuss each learner is encouraged to draw the main events, setting, and characters for the assigned chapters.  This can go on a "fairy tale" page. Drawing during discussion encourages a key reading comprehension strategy called, visualization. This is encourages students to look for key details and stop and think about the text. While working on these pages, the class we will be discussing the story elements and answering comprehension questions. The questions are meant to guide discussion not just recall information.


Teaching Style
My goal is to create a positive learning environment where everyone is welcomed and feels comfortable. This class is for all abilities and I adapt my teaching to each learner's needs. 


Muting Policy
Students do not have to be muted. If there is background noise that is a distraction I will let the learner know and will mute and they can be unmuted when they would like to speak.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Welcome to my classroom! My name is Jessica, my students call me, Ms. Jessica. I have been an online educator for over three years. I received my B.S in Management and Leadership in 2016 and then moved onto my master's program to receive my Masters of Arts in Teaching for Special Education. In 2020 with a semester and left and my student teaching I decided to stay home and homeschool my own kiddos! I have a boy with Down syndrome and another little boy. My special education background allows me to customize my classes and adapt to any learner. When I am not teaching I enjoy taking our family dog on walks, spending time in nature, reading books of all kind, watching history documentaries, cooking, and spending time with my family.
