Weekly Vocabulary Work is an ongoing vocabulary and spelling class that meets once a week for learners to study vocabulary words and practice spelling weekly grade level two and three vocabulary lists. Each week, learners will practice spelling 10-15 vocabulary words. Learners are invited to join any week! This class is appropriate for (CEFR: A1, A2, B1). In this class, we will study vocabulary words and practice spelling skills. The words will be taken from grades two and three vocabulary lists. Some weeks will introduce a new spelling or grammar rule, others will provide an engaging theme of words. Learners will then practice those rules or expand the themes through a specifically designed vocabulary list and related activities. Vocabulary lists will be provided a week before the scheduled lesson. Learners can study words before class, but it is not required. Some word lists may be based on books, but learners do not have to have read the books before class. Each class will start with a review of the weekly vocabulary words and an explanation of the activities. Some weeks may require outside resources. Each week will have a new list of themed words and different activities to practice and learn those words such as individual or group games, illustrations, or creative writing.

Hello and Welcome!
My name is Caitlyn Teacher. It’s great to meet you!

Dear Outschool families and learners,
I will be taking an indefinite break from Outschool as I am living abroad and unfortunately will not be able to continue teaching online for the time being. I truly enjoyed my time teaching on Outschool and hope to be able to start classes again one day.
Though I’ll be unable to teach on Outschool for a while, I will keep my profile open and can still be reached through Outschool messages!
Good luck in all your future classes and studies :)

***********************************
I have been volunteering and teaching in brick-and-mortar schools since 2013, and teaching online since 2021. I love teaching language arts (especially reading and writing), math, world cultures, K-Pop, and I am a huge fan of Disney. I want to share my passion for learning with students who have similar interests! I hope to encourage a passion for learning, inspire ideas for new interests and hobbies, and provide unique learning experiences for each student.
My classes cater to small group settings, with six or fewer learners in each class. This small group setting provides more opportunities for teacher-learner and learner-learner interactions. I structure my classes and lessons to encourage student discussion and interaction. There are many chances to ask and answer questions. The discussion questions are usually open-ended to allow learners to think creatively about an answer and lead to more personalized discussions.
I studied, trained, and became certified to be an elementary K-5 school teacher in America, then traveled abroad to teach English in Asia. I taught ESL to Korean middle and high schoolers for four years and finished a 120-hour young learners and teenagers TEFL/TESOL certification. While living in Asia, I took the opportunity to visit many countries and learn about new places and study new languages. I have been studying Korean since September 2017.
I look forward to when I can travel again! But from the comfort of home, I love still being able to connect with students all over the world through Outschool’s online classes!
I look forward to seeing you soon~
