When I think of Valentine’s Day, I think of flowers, chocolate, cards, love, and most of all, poetry! In this class, we will begin with a quick hello and how are you. Then, students will learn a short history of the Valentine's Day poem. Students will then listen to and discuss a couple of age-appropriate Valentine’s Day poems. Finally, we will create our own poem. This class is a fun way to celebrate Valentine’s Day while learning, thinking deeply, and writing some poetry! Before class, I will send a worksheet we will be using. Please also have some extra paper and a pencil.

Teacher expertise and credentials
New York Teaching Certificate
Education is my passion. I hold an MA in Curriculum and Teaching: Elementary and Early Childhood Education from Teachers College, Columbia University. My career has included teaching preschool, kindergarten, first and second grade, in both public and private schools. I spent a couple of years home schooling my children, and hope to do so again in the future. Dyslexia runs in my family and recently my oldest daughter was diagnosed with mild dyslexia at the age of 12. She was denied services. I have recently been trained by an Orton-Gillingham Academy Fellow at the Associate level. I am continuing my studies in understanding dyslexia and how to help remediate it by also studying Structured Word Inquiry. I believe my role as a teacher is to help guide children in their learning. My goal is not to just teach important educational skills but also to help children build a strong, foundational love of learning as well as understand their weaknesses are sometimes also their strengths.
My classes are designed to help each child reach their potential. I create classes that will keep the little ones moving, motivated and, excited to learn. For the older students, I like to open their world to different ideas. I like creating classes that explore connections within different subjects. You will find many of my older grade classes don't fit into one category. Often a class will include, history, etymology, and science all rolled into one!
I live outside of New York City with my husband, two daughters and mom. I look forward to meeting your learners!Reviews
