Toys! Role Play Storytelling

My name is Mrs. Thelen. I earned my Teaching degree in England back in 2002 and started teaching in England that same year and have continued ever since. I have also worked in Denmark, Oregon, Texas and Utah since then. I have a license to teach from the state of Utah and Iowa.
I have taught children ranging from 6 weeks to 10 years in private and public schools, I have taught all general subjects in this setting, mostly teaching 4–6-year-old and I love it!
I believe that children learn best when they are interested and engaged in the learning. I will be using fun ways to teach your child and every child will get a chance to participate in my small group setting.

 I am going to also do a basic coding/programming class for children aged 4-8 using a small robot that the children will learn how to make it move and give me the instructions to fill challenges each time. The children will be thinking through each step to achieve the goal, all while having fun with technology.

I have carried out similar activities in school setting and feel it will benefit children online too. I have worked teaching kindergarten online for the ending period of 2020 school year when Covid hit and the whole of the school year starting 2020-21. During this period, I focused on making sure that along with regular subjects the children could still make connections with myself, and other children, and still be creative.

Some fun facts about me are that I love living in different places, I love creating things and I am also the second eldest of 9 children and have loved being with children all my life!
