Class Experience

In this class, students will learn how to draw animals and bugs using their written word forms (i.e. turning the word dog into a picture of a dog or using the letter "A" to draw an alligator). Students will be able to talk about their favorite animals and we will all try to draw that animal using the letter forms. Students will be able to color and share their animal pictures in each class. This class is an open class and all learners are allowed to suggest animals and bugs to draw. Sharing is not required but is encouraged. 


Our class format: 
*Opening intro with class rules and guidelines
*students will have an opportunity to share their favorite animal
*we will draw each animal using letters and written words 
*students will have a free time period to color and finish their animals 
*Share time (sharing and talking is not required but is encouraged to help build confidence) :) 
*thank you and goodbye's 

Because this class has open possibilities and students are able to request animals and letters, the class content may differ in each session.

Learning Goals

Students will learn to use written word forms and beginning letters of animal names to draw their favorite animals.

Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

Welcome! My name is Nicole Allen. I am a very outgoing, upbeat, and exciting teacher. I love to have fun and work hard to encourage and help each and every child I teach. 

I have a bachelors degree in Elementary Education and am licensed to teach students ages K-6. I have taught kindergarten for three years and have been teaching English to students online as an ESL teacher for 2 years. 

I have five beautiful children of my own ages 4, 8, 10, 11, and 13 and love adding extra homeschool content to help my own kiddos learn more each day. 

I am very creative and love animals! I love to paint, draw, sew, and bake and enjoy playing board games with my family. I am an Animal Crossing fanatic. I have five pets: three cats (Zelda, Blossom, and Julius), one dog (Obi Wan), and a rabbit (Snuggles). I am a huge fan of Starwars and love to watch comedy shows. 

I am excited to teach classes using drawing, art concepts, English, and math, and hope to bring several pre-school related curriculum topics to my online classroom as well. I look forward to incorporating fun themes such as Star Wars, Animal Crossing, and Zelda in future classes and would like to offer great themed classes for my future students.

I believe that every child can learn and am excited to see you in my classroom, soon! Please reach out with any questions you may have.

Thank you!

Nicole Allen
