Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
Whether you already enjoy poetry or dislike it, this class will help you find ways to make it fun! Each class we will read poems and discuss different elements present. Students will then be given time to write individual and group poems. Students that would like to share their poems with class will be given an opportunity. Students will also be able to share poems by their favorite authors!

Class will begin with a poem in the style we are covering that class. We will talk about things we notice and what we like about them poem. We will then brainstorm topics and write a whole class poem before breaking into smaller groups for additional practice. Students will be encouraged to write individual poems as well. We will play games like Jeopardy and Kahoot! to review figurative language and poetry types.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! My name is Kathy and I live in Southern California. I love working with students all around the World and of all different ages. I mainly teach classes that are Language Arts based (reading, writing, spelling, and grammar). I also teach about Historical figures, especially if I can tie them into Literature. I also love teaching about animals, and doing story time for the younger kids.

I have been teaching for over 15 years. I have taught in traditional school settings, charter schools, home schooled my own children, and taught online. I have a BA in English as well as a K-12 Teaching Credential. I am very passionate about helping people learn to love reading and writing. I also love to help people that need a little extra help with spelling and grammar. It makes me so proud and happy to have a student tell me how much they think they are improving or to get answers correct on something they missed before.

My approach to teaching is interactive and hands on. I want my students to learn while having fun. I ask a lot of comprehension questions, group work, pair work, and projects (depending on the class). I try to do as much of the work in class as possible so that kids can still be kids once they are done.

 My background is in English but I love History and Science too (especially the experiments). It wouldn't be unusual in one of my classes to have to make something that just pops into my mind because it seems fun. I love animals, chocolate, and all things Disney!
