US Grade Kindergarten - 2
Welcome to Ms. Jodi's library classroom!  Settle in for some holiday stories and adventures with me this Christmas!  

Imagine a magical snowman that comes alive and needs a new home...where could he go that he wouldn't melt? ....and this is one of the books that we will read together... A Magical Snowman by Margery Cuyler.  

Can anyone catch an escaping "Gingerbread Man" fresh from the oven?  And this is the title of our second book by Eric A. Kimmel.  "You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man!"....or will someone catch him in the end?  

The Wild Christmas Reindeer by Jan Brett is a beloved book in my library class for first and second-grade students.  We will read this together and enjoy the beautiful story of the countdown to Christmas.  

All reading levels and ESL students are welcome in this class.  I will read the books as the students look at the pictures on screen share.  We will also have some creative visualization/drawing time after the story to process and we will write a short sentence together.  

Please provide drawing paper and crayons for your student for this class.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from University of Phoenix
I am a Waldorf educator having worked as a school librarian and library/research subject teacher for 6 years with grades K-12 as faculty at a Waldorf school in rural Pennsylvania.  I also worked as the first grade rest time teacher bringing calm and beautiful stories to this grade every day for many years. I have trained, been mentored by, and served along with some of the most experienced and dedicated Waldorf class and subject teachers in the world, some of whom have passed on and given me the greatest gift possible...to see their joy in teaching young souls. I also served as the reading coach for our school Reading Olympics team with over 40 students per year voluntarily coming to my library for an extracurricular where students were excited to read over 45 books a school year!  

I have been offering comprehensive and affordable private lessons for Waldorf and other students around the world for several years. I also offer special Waldorf grades classes where students can connect with other students around the world.  Our comfort with zoom now allows me to come to you no matter where in the world you may be!  From day one, my students notice the improvement in their abilities and overall comprehension but parents especially note the change in their confidence. I get letters every day from parents telling me how much they see the confidence in their student improving after working with me.  Each student has a unique learning style, and it’s my duty to find out what that is and adapt my lessons accordingly. Contact me today to find out how I can help you achieve your academic goals.  As both a Waldorf former homeschooling mom and a teacher at a Waldorf school, I offer a unique experience to wherever your student may be-at home or at school-while needing extra lessons.

I have also taken private courses in archetypes for several years and studied the work of Carl Jung as a B.S. Psychology student.  I am also a published writer in the Waldorf publication LILIPOH magazine. I lived on a Navajo reservation for several summers. I also have Masters classes in Library Science, Human Services, as well as diversity training. I ran a middle and high school library at the Waldorf school where I taught creative writing, library, and research classes for six years.  I also worked in the Waldorf kindergarten and grades as an aftercare teacher.
