Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5
Have you ever wondered where Disney magic originated?  In this one-time class, students will explore the man behind the Magic, Walt Disney.  Students will take a look at Walt Disney's life and his journey to success. During class, students will also explore Walt Disney World and Disneyland and learn about their development.  Throughout the class, students will view a slide presentation, short video clips, and play a review game.  This class will be very engaging as students are welcome to share Disney memories throughout the lesson. Students will also play "Name that Disney Tune" as we learn interesting historical facts about Disney.  I look forward to seeing your child in the classroom as we learn about the man behind the magic, Walt Disney.

Hello parents and guardians, my name is Gayla Tidwell.  Welcome to my classroom.  I look forward to meeting your child soon. In my classroom, your child will explore various topics and have a lot of fun. Each class will include grammar, math, geography, history, and science to maximize the educational experience for your child. I enjoy planning lessons that incorporate different subject areas.  I believe this allows each course to be full of variety and knowledge about the subject matter. I bring a lot of energy to my classroom, which results in exciting and engaging lessons.  I also strive to build a strong rapport with my students ensuring they are comfortable and eager to participate.  I am confident your child will have an enjoyable learning experience in my classroom. 

I have 18 years of teaching experience. Over those 18 years, I have taught 4th and 5th-grade language arts, preschool, and ESL (English as a Second Language) online.  I have also homeschooled my four children for the past four years. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education P-4, an additional license 4-8 in English, and a Master’s degree in Teacher Leadership. 

I am married and have four children. I enjoy creating things, swimming, traveling, and spending time with my family. Teaching is one of my favorite things to do.  I always enjoy creating lessons that are fun and engaging. I look forward to teaching your child in my classroom soon.
