We will spend two class meetings learning some fascinating facts about owls. We will begin class with a discussion about owls. What do you already know about these beautiful creatures? We will use the KWL graphic organizer to list our background knowledge, chart our thinking and write questions that we want to answer about owls. We will use the graphic organizer to guide our writing. We will examine some of the challenges that owls experience. We will watch a short video on endangered owls. We will discuss the video and identify problems and challenges owls face. For example, the use of pesticides, diminishing habitats and excessive hunting are just a few of the problems owls face. Learners will be taught the problem solution relationship often found in nature. In our second meeting, learners will reflect upon their learning and choose one of the problems owls face and with teacher assistance, create a written solution to address the problem. The teacher will model how to write a solution to one of the problems owls encounter and assist students with their writing. Students will interact with the teacher through discussion, question and answer, and shared writing activities. They will be given the opportunity to share their written solutions with the class. Classmates will be encouraged to provide oral feedback to the students about their proposed solutions.

Hi Parents! Thank you for your interest in my classes. I offer a wide variety of classes within the life skills, language arts, math, and science content areas. My most popular classes are private math tutoring, shoe tying, introduction to writing and a variety of creative arts classes. These classes are designed for students in elementary through grade 6. I have been a teacher for over thirty years. I have taught students from many cultures and backgrounds. I have taught all content subjects in every elementary grade as well as 6th grade Language Arts. I have taught students on line, in public, parochial, homebound, after school, and in enrichment settings. To date, I have taught over 8,000 virtual on-line classes! I am a licensed teacher, administrator, instructional coach, and also have my academically gifted certification. I earned my masters in school administration from UNC-Chapel Hill, and a highly-qualified bachelors in K-6 from Elon College/University. In addition, I have an associates degree in Early Childhood Education. How we learn and the stages we move through are always taken into account when creating and delivering instruction. In my classroom, I use a wide variety of instructional strategies and research based methodologies to meet the individual learning styles and interests of my students. I use inquiry based learning and believe students learn best when their learning styles and interests are part of the classroom experience. Relationships are an essential part of a students success both in and out of the classroom. Building strong relationships with my students is at the core of my instructional approach. I am a lifelong learner and want to inspire my love for learning with all of my students, in hopes they will be too. Teaching is my passion but in my spare time, I enjoy reading, gardening, embroidery, spending time outdoors and being on the water. I am happiest when playing with my eight year old grandson Alex and our adorable dog Gracie. I hope you will check out my catalog of classes. I would be happy to create a new class for your interests too. I hope to meet your child soon! Educationally Yours, JamieReviews
