Class Experience

US Grade Pre-Kindergarten - 1
Beginner Level
In this ongoing class, the students will be introduced to one vocabulary word in each class.  We will use a vocabulary four square activity to learn the word in depth.  The students will write the word, draw a picture of the word, write synonyms or antonyms, write words or sentences stating examples of the word, then write some non~examples of the word. The students will increase their reading and writing vocabulary.
Feel free to have your child join this class at any time.  The lessons do not build on each other.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi!  Welcome to my Outschool classroom.  My name is Betty Nilssen.  I have a BS in Elementary Education with a minor in Spanish from UW-Milwaukee.  I am a first grade teacher, but I have also taught second, third and fourth grade.  My passion for teaching reading while incorporating phonics, phonemic awareness, rhyming, comprehension, fluency, science, social studies, math, drawing and writing helps children strengthen their academic skills while they gain academic confidence and a love of learning.  Teaching reading is my super power.  
However, I incorporate math, writing, drawing, social studies and science into all of my lessons, as well.  
I have three adult daughters and two of them are teachers, as well.  
There are so many books to read, words and sentences to write, math equations to solve and fiction and non fiction pictures to draw. Let's get started!  Enroll your Early Childhood Education student and your child will further develop their academic skills and gain academic confidence.  Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or if you are looking for different times or dates for classes.  
I can't wait to work with you and your child and further a passion for learning!  Mrs. Nilssen
