Students will learn through discussions, fun facts, taste testing, timelines, and note taking skills. Students will progress in their reading comprehension skills and increased vocabulary knowledge. 

I love learning about people and history!! I learn along with the children with the same enthusiasm they have as we travel in time to meet important historical figures. With an ESL background, I find non-fiction reading improve students' overall skills. These classes add a fun element to reading while enhancing their English skills and building a strong knowledge background to strengthen their vocabulary and testing skills. As part of my degree, I took many history classes as they tie in well with ELA. I continue to learn myself and stay current by taking history, religious education, and literature classes. ESL teaching has taught me to look at classroom materials in a unique way. I create my own slides and adapt them as needed according to my students. I love to see students' confidence grow as they learn. I am very patient and encouraging with all my students. 

It is a joy to teach, read and journey with my students. I read at a very early age and remember the joy of a new book or an escape in time. I read and listen to multiple books and participate in book clubs myself. I share book titles and suggestions with my friends. My bookshelves stay full and I offer a lending library to encourage reading among youth and adults. I hope to ignite this lifelong hobby to your child. 

Homework Offered
Assessments Offered
Students will be excited after this class to share all they learned and their knowledge of the life and teachings of our historical figure. Learning is sharing. My goal is for all my students to take one thing away from class that ignites them. It is very special for them to share what they learn with others.
